Don't ask questions if you can't hack the answers.

My assessment stands.

I take back what I said, God and your personality have done more to punish you than I ever could.

Dear me. I sense a disturbance in The Force.

What I don't see from any exponents of the Hive Mind hereon is any evidence of how my advice was incorrect. I'll save you the bother of going back a page; here it is again:

All you can do is help your wife help her mother deal with this.

And that means getting your wife to get your mother to an attorney.

IMMEDIATELY.

Still waiting for a valid, substantive critique of the above.......

It's all the other crap your puked out before that statement.
You have crapped on many a thread in your 100+ posts. Get the hint, be a nice boy. Or didn't your mother teach you how?
 
Sneezer - sorry for the loss of
a family member - my condolences.
 
My mom died first. Ten years later dad died. The estate was shared by the church and just my sister and I. My sister and I did not quibble on the will at all. My aunt that lived nearby had to put up with dads alzheimers daily for close to three years as he would break out of the assisted liveing home and walk a mile for a good meal. She handeled a lot of things for him as sister and I were almost 3,000 miles away.
Aunt is poor as a chuch mouse and her car was about 30 years old. Sister and I kicked in $10,000 apiece so she could get a new one as the estate was settled. Everyone was happy.
Now, you throw a greedy brother in law in the mix, and sister in law that wants to keep a happy marriage and the worst MIGHT happen.
I simply would have wife AND sister take momma to a lawyer without me or brother in law, and work out the matter.
Years ago I had a old batchlor uncle that died and had a will. He was angry with my sister for personnal reasons. He cut her out, I was the favorite nephew, (only nephew, really),
I made out, and she got nothing. Actualy she still did, as I hauled a truck load of stuff she might use from wisconsin to california.
My sister and I dont get along real great for other reasons, BUT we have never argued over money or possessions. But then again I didnt have a brother in law to contend with as she is a widow.
 
...Maybe I just don't remember this right but are you sure that a power of attorney is needed if you have an executor.

Power of Attorney ends at death. The executor is the person who handles the estate after the person passes. And I am so sorry to hear of your your family's loss.

I didn't see anything wrong with your advice....but your tone was extremely rude.

If you want to be a prick, take it somewhere else as it's not appreciated here.

Although I have not read nearly enough to know who is supposed to kick who's ass on this post, as indicated by Caje and Erich, I would make an appointment with a real probate attorney and cart up mother in law and Mrs Sneezer off to see him XXXXXX (As EDITED Soon As Possible). I would get Mother in law at least a Will, Financial Power of Attorney and Medical Power of Attorney. Good luck.
 
What all the legal eagles said. No need to make the little sister aware of the appointment as it sounds as if her services aren't needed.

Good advice.
 
Sorry for your family's loss. Good advice so far in getting in touch with a lawyer ASAP. The sister making moves on the money right after her father's death does not bode well IMHO...screw her. Our family went through a similar deal when my father passed away and it was ugly. The lawyer retained to see that my dad's wishes were seen to earned every dollar we paid him, and then some.

So when do you apologize for thinking you can talk down to people in a condescending way and get away with it.
Does that fit anywhere in your world?

It's called a "reality check." Something your post indicated you were in need of.

Would you feel better if I also told you to "Come close. Closer?"
 
Having read the OP a couple of times, I think the power of attorney the sister wants is over Mother. It has nothing to do with the will. If Mother has Alzheimer's, and no one contests the power of attorney, then the court will grant it to her. Your wife needs an estate and probate attorney YESTERDAY.

GET YOURSELF A LAWYER WHO IS A SPECIALIST IN WILLS AND ESTATE. A S A P!

It will be some of the best bucks you'ce ever spent.

So you are the one who decides if a person needs a reality check. HMMMMM?
How does that work? It looks like it would be a great skill to have. Can it ever be off or is it always right on?
How did you acquire it? Did you take a class or do you perhaps have a degree in it?
It is hard for me to believe someone is the last word in all things legal and psychological when they can't read the words under the word LOUNGE.
You seem to be your own paradox. No matter you are dismissed so stay off my tread.
 
Sneezer, I'm not an attorney, but as one who has been thru this kind of situation, and who has a business partner who is currently in an absolute zoo of a situation with his wife's inheritance matters, I can only underscore what Caje, Erich and others here have said:

First thing Monday morning, get to an attorney who specializes in these matters. It will be worth every nickel you spend, and then some!

Good luck with it.

The OP only sorta asked for legal advice. As I see this, it was more like practical advice in terms of what response should be considered. As such, the on-line community here is not a bad choice. (I can't imagine any question I would ask on arfcom; good lord.)

As several noted, the correct answer is in fact for Sneezer and his wife to find speak to a lawyer licensed in their state, competent to address wills, trusts, guardianships, and estates. (We don't generally "specialize", nor can we say that - with the exception of admiralty, as I recall, we can only say "practice concentrated in" or something to that effect.) As for the timing - ASAP.

I am not sure I would concur with Amici's position on "standing", as none of us know who is or will be a beneficiary or otherwise impacted by this. It is a family matter of some kind for Sneezer and his wife, and I'd bet a bunch that they need to resolve it together.
