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.

When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

Estate Planning lawyer at Richard J. Kaplan, P.A.
Your lawyer should instruct you on your duties and normally the Personal Representative Fee is set at 3% of the value of the probated estate.

I'd like my deceased grandparents house in my name. (They have 3 children) there is no will, I am preparing an affidavit of heirship, is there more?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
After the Affidavit of Heirship has been recorded by the county clerk, the three children of your deceased grandparents can each sign a Special Warranty Deed of Gift deeding their interest to you and record these with the county clerk.  It is not a DIY project.  It is also not expensive.  Hire an attorney to make sure that it gets done right.  Neither occupancy nor paying taxes gives you any ownership interest.
