I was instructed to send register of wills $400.00for first accounting. Then the lawyer charged me $400.00. I am now paying out of pocket $3506.64This was 2 weeks ago. I told the lawyer that I no Longer need her services. 1 day later she tells me she has to petition the court.

Does my POA cover for both or will I have to figure out how to get one for her significant?
No. The POA naming you as attorney-in-fact for your mom does not authorize you to act in her place as the attorney-in-fact under another person's POA. In the absence of the significant other's ability to designate another agent to act, it will be necessary to petition the court and be... Read more »

1. I would have never hired a company to subcontract. Can they do this if it wasn't in the contract?
2. The original window installation company continues to refuse to provide a lien release from the subcontractors. Again, and again.
Is there any way to force them to... Read more »
If the contract does not prohibit it, they can use subcontractors. Why do you need a lien release? Have they filed a lien? It is unlikely that a window replacement contract would be a large enough percentage of your property value to qualify for a mechanics lien. Why have they sued you? Not enough... Read more »
to gift me their interest in my girlfriend's real property, what needs to be done to accomplish the transfer of ownership? Does the estate need to deed the property to the heirs, then the heirs execute a gift deed to me? Could this be done using a single deed?
The answer depends on the jurisdiction. Your question appears to be posted from Pennsylvania but asserts that it is about Maryland property. What may really matter is where your girlfriend was domiciled when she passed. The difference will be the taxes, and the difference will be significant. Since... Read more »
I am about to open an estate for my mother and found out her property was sold at a tax sale a week after her death. Am I still able to sell the home once I am appointed PR or will I have to redeem the property by paying off lien first?

In some jurisdictions, all that was sold was a tax certificate that entitles the buyer to a high interest rate. In any event, the death before the sale may... Read more »

Adverse Possession is a cause of action. To obtain title the claim must be asserted in court, and granted by a judge. If you choose to file a deed on your own (I don't know who you'd describe as the "grantor") you risk being sued or slander of title by the true owner.... Read more »
We were living in a home titled in her sole name with no mortgage. The only living heirs are her siblings and they have agreed to assign all rights in the estate to me. What is the process to do this? What are the potential tax implications?
You are not an heir at law, so the siblings cannot simply disclaim their interests because disclaimers are treated as if they had predeceased your girlfriend, and that would not result in the estate assets going to you. However, if you had a legal claim against the estate based on contributions... Read more »
