Pick your battles wisely, and let the little stuff go, but stand by your gut feel, most often it's right.
Yes I went through this last spring with a dead grandpa and his bickering sons over intent of the will and trusts.
It's hard, but do try to let the little stuff go, it's not worth it in the long run. Did I mention it's damnnn hard to not make it personal between family?  |
I don't believe power of attorney is effective following death. The executor of the will takes over (at least that was the way it was with my MIL in NYS)
