Commonly Asked Estate Planning Questions From Users Near You

If the title of real estate is in the husband's trust with the wife as the beneficiary, does the title have to change to the wife's trust?

Arieh Mordechai Flemenbaum
Answered by attorney Arieh Mordechai Flemenbaum (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Griffith & Jacobson, LLC
Generally, speaking, there should be no need to re-title the real estate. Holding the real estate in trust avoids the need to open a probate estate to transfer the real estate upon the husband's death. Also, holding the property in trust is generally done to utilize the husband's estate tax exemption (and minimize and possibly eliminate any federal estate taxes that may be due on death). So, assuming the terms of the husband's trust meet the needs and goals of the wife, title does not have to change to the wife's trust. As the beneficiary of the husband's trust, the wife should have the benefit and use of the real estate. Once the husband has died, the wife may want to hold title in her name (or in through her trust). However, it is unclear from your question as to what type of trust holds the real estate and why the title was not equally divided between the husband and wife. So, you should have an estate planning lawyer review the terms of the husband's trust with you to make sure it meets your needs and estate planning goals. This answer is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be legal advice nor does it establish an attorney-client relationship. Please consult a local estate planning lawyer to obtain legal advice that is tailored to your circumstances and facts. I am happy to discuss this with you in greater detail.

Does my brother-in-law have any ownership rights if I now own the property where he built a storage?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
He probably does not own the building. But if he built the storage building without the landowner's permission and used it continuously and exclusively, he might have some ownership rights to the building by adverse possession. The answer depends upon the law in your particular state. Also, he may own some or all of the items that are stored inside.

What do I have to sign to use power of attorney?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
You don't have to do anything. If you want to sign their checks, just bring the POA to their bank. If you want to make trades on their broker accounts, just notify their broker and send him a copy. If your parents are competent, you ought to alert them what you are doing. Keep in mind you are a fiduciary and everything you do has to be for their benefit or you could wind up with legal problems.
