If law has changed, do we divide by laws in place at time of death or laws in the year its being divided?

You divide the property by the terms of the will. You have to use the laws in effect at the time of death.

Can I sell or drive my mother’s vehicle even if the title is not on my name?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
There's a lot of information that would be needed in order to properly answer this question. The most important question is are you insured as a driver of this vehicle? That would be a question for the insurance agent. If you are not insured as a driver of this vehicle, then driving it is a violation, or possibly a traffic crime, and you are setting your mom and you up for huge liability in the event you have an accident. Does anyone have power of attorney for your mom? That person could transfer title, but it really isn't necessary; there's no reason your mom can't own a car and let you drive it (as long as you're insured while driving it), so the POA could trade in the truck on something else.

Which Trust to set up?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
I would suggest setting up the trust in your Will so that the proceeds go to your estate. You will have a number of other properties to dispose of. So you may have all of the estate go into the trust, just the insurance proceeds or a combination.
