I have POA for aunt who is 90. Her assets were in her name until a year ago. POA gives me right to gift.

If you give gifts, those gifts will cause a Medicaid penalty.  You can't give gifts as part of the spend down even though the POA probably says you can give gifts.

Can i exclude my future husband from my will as I own my house in NJ and it is in my name only and my 2 children from my previous husband. I want to l

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You can exclude your future husband from your estate by doing a combination of a prenuptial agreement and a marital share waiver.  In the State of New Jersey you cannot disinherit your spouse, so if you just leave him out the will, he can claim his marital share which is one third of the augmented estate.  He cannot make that claim, however, if he has signed a waiver of that share. You can also use a prenuptial to agree that neither of you will take from the other's estate.  What you will need is his agreement or consent, and you will need to have that in writing to protect your children in the future.

In NJ can an executor grant a durable power of attorney to his sibling to assist in handling the estate matters?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
Yes !  the banks may have an issue with this - but be insistent.  I do it all the time for my clients.  as the Executor you will still need to sign tax returns, contracts, etc. but the more administrative tasks, such as going to the bank, can be done by someone else via your POA.  The bank will most likely not let you pull all of the money out of the account until you either pay estate/inheritance taxes, or prove no taxes are due by obtaining a waiver.
