POA in Louisiana expires with the person. This is an (presumably) intestate succession now, likely an insolvent one. Are there any heirs?

If you're not an heir, I would walk away. The Christian thing is to advise all the property holders of the current status and put the landlord in contact with the bank holding the note on the trailer, etc.

The vehicle is easy - just ask them where they want it.

You're just being a nice guy at this point.

Agree with everything being said here. Tie everything to his “estate”. Inform bank and other creditors. Wash your hands and move on.

All great insights from everyone. Very helpful, thanks. As for heirs, I’m not even sure yet if there is a will. If there is, there are no assets, only debts. Maybe a few hundred bucks in savings and checking accounts.

To clarify: Death is a certain eventuality, and has not occurred yet. I should have said that to start. I just want to do the right things when the time comes but protect myself at the same time.
