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

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
It is difficult to answer a question like this without more complete information about the estate, and how the land will transfer in the first place. If your mother passed in July of 2013, you should still have time to "disclaim" your share of the land that might do what you want, but more information about the family is needed. You could simply deed your portion to your brother, but first you need to make sure that you are properly in title to the land, and this approach might involve a need at least to file a gift tax return. Honestly, it's land it must have enough value that it's worth hiring a lawyer to make sure things are done correctly.

Yes it can.  I would encourage you to get more specific advice based upon more specific information and the actual trust document.

When someone says they have Power Of Attorney, should they have a document with the signature of the person they are making the decision for?

A power of attorney is a delegation or sharing of rights by a living person and is invalid after the death of the principle. An agent acting under power of attorney should have the document, though in Texas a copy of the document has the same force and effect as the original. Also in Texas, a medical power of attorney and a statutory durable power of attorney are generally 2 separate documents governing medical and financial matters, respectively. The statutory form for power of attorney in Texas requires the principle sign before a notary.
