How do turn over our share of land to our brother?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
The land will still need to be probated in court; once you have been determined to be an heir, you can grant deed your share to the brother.

Can my husband put his name on the deed of his brother's condo if he has a POA over his assets?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Maybe, it depends upon what the power of attorney authorizes and what it does not. He may be violating a fiduciary duty to his brother and be opening himself up to liability. In Nevada it is a mandatory double damage on top of what is taken. If the condominium would pass to another, ie under the brother's Will or intestate law he would be setting himself up for liability under Nevada law. You do not state what state's law the power of attorney was given, so you need to check that state in addition to South Carolina. Thus you may need to consult attorneys in both of those states.

Generally, a deceased person's spouse and children are not responsible for the deceased person's debts, unless the spouse or children somehow agreed to be responsible for the debts (for example, by co-signing a loan).
