Do I have to comply with an attorney request?

Answered by attorney Jeffrey R. Gottlieb (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Robert H. Glorch
This is hard to answer without more detail. You should contact a probate attorney to go over the specifics and decide your best course of action.

Is swap of houses with a selling price of $1.00 legal?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
Generally you have to pay state and county transfer taxes on real estate when it is sold or transferred. The swap you describe will be for $1 plus other consideration. The other consideration is the value of the other house he gave in exchange.. Thereafter the local property tax assessor has the legal obligation to re-assess the house for property tax purposes at the fair market value (e.g. full market price oif hted house ) and this swap will "uncap" any property tax limitations and the SEV and Taxable value should be the same (and 1/2 of the fair/full market value). This is the law. What legal recourse are you talking about? He has the option to challenge the valuation assement but its set at the fair market value. The $1 he "paid" for the house is not a real number so it is irrelevant. Does he not like the entire transfer and want to void it and what does his wife have to do with it? If he signed the document he signed it.. and apparently his wife was part owner so.

Can an adopted son who changed his name back to his birth name be given rights to his adoptive parents property?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Christine Sabio Socrates (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Christine Sabio Socrates Attorney at Law
If this son was legally adopted, he has a legal right to his parents possessions. After death, a power of attorney is void. If he is the only heir of his parents, then he is probably entitled to their property, regardless of what he changed his name to. However, if there are items that belonged to other family members, then you may be entitled to those items if you can show that they did not belong to his mother. He most likely opened up a probate estate to transfer his parents possessions to himself. This is public record so anyone can look at this file at probate court.
