1) My parents home was left to all of the siblings. Back in 2011, we (my siblings and I) all signed documents granting my next to the oldest sister authority to do as she wanted with the house (whether she decided to sell, rent, etc.). My sister has advised she will write a letter or complete any form necessary to turn the house solely over to me since technically she still has the "power" to do what she wants with it. Would this be sufficient to have the deed transferred solely to my name?
2) My eldest sister passed away before the letters (granting my next to the oldest sister power to do as she pleased with the house) were signed by the siblings. An estate was not opened after she passed as my next sister was not in a position financially to do so). My eldest sister did not have any heirs or a spouse at that time. Does an estate have to be opened for her before the deed to the house can be transferred to me?
