Re: our rights after death
All very good question and I would need more detail to confirm.
However as long as he is alive the POA which your sister has gives the highest priority if it is written properly she can manage his estate, pay bills etc.
After his death the executor is in charge, he gathers all of the assets and probates the will, notifies heirs and works to distribute the assets of the estate.
The other issues need to be addressed on a transactional basis. If you need an attorney or your sister has a question call my office for a free initial consultation.
