In a life estate, can a lien be put on property in NJ by either the lending bank or the Condo Association?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If there is a lien, for the foreclosure, the lien would be against the property, not against the holder of the life estate.  I'm not sure that answers the question.  The life estate does not protect the property from foreclosure

It's not possible to answer based on the information you have given.  If the minors parents are alive you can have them take control of the funds or place it in a custodial account.

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

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.
