JYPSY901, you might want to make an appointment with an Elder Law Attorney, each State has different rules.

Geez, why in the world wasn't this planned for? Why didn't he create a will? Does the bank own the house now because payments weren't being made? That is likely what is going on, you were living in a house with a mortgage and weren't making payments, is that correct?

Sorry for your loss. If there is no will and you are not married or related to the deceased, it is unlikely, IMHO, that there is any recourse.

This is a reminder to the rest of us that having paperwork in order is so very important. It was a condition of my parents moving in with me 7 years ago. If I'd known then what I know now, I would have made a long list of conditions, but that's a whole 'nother story.

Why were you not able to bring your wallet and prosthetic leg? That seems unnecessary and hopefully things that can easily be returned to you ASAP.

Good luck.

PoA ends the minute the assigner passes away. It is only in effect while the person is alive. If there was no Will and thus no appointed Executor, then the estate goes into probate I guess, but each state has their own rules about it.

If you are being evicted without ever having had contact with the "home owner" it is most likely the mortgage company that is recouping the house. An eviction process is a legal process so you will need to leave.

The most important thing to take with you is the lesson learned from this bad experience. If you love someone, protect yourselves by getting married. Even if you never get married, plan for your own retirement, aging decline and final exit and have all your legal ducks in a row in advance.

Some people think marriage is old-fashioned. Here's a perfect example of why it isn't. Love is cute and all, but it doesn't help when the law is involved.

Your belongings are your belongings. Contact the sheriff's office to get them back if you know who evicted you.

I had a friend that claimed she was not able to get her belongings out before the Sheriff put a lock on her door. The problem was she had been given notice way before the lock out. She waited till the last minute to get her belongings out. Next day, the house had locks on it and Sheriff dept would not allow her to enter.

Really, I can't believe you were not allowed personal items like ur wallet.
