How do I pay his bills using his checking account if I am not on his bank account?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
If your dad signed a durable power of attorney form, the "agent" would be able to act on his behalf. If he does not have such a form in place, your only other alternative is to go to the probate court and seek appointment as his guardian and conservator. Depending on your location, that process can take 1-3 months. You will want to have an attorney assist you, if you are in that situation.

How does one remove beneficiary?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
If she is named on the Deed only she can remove herself. Perhaps, your husband can ask her cooperation.

When did it become law that if a trustee is named without naming the trust immediately following, that trust becomes an asset of the trustee?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
There is no such law. If the trustee is referenced as trustee, then the trust does not need to be named. The identification as trustee means that the person is not receiving the asset in his or her individual capacity, but as trustee for the trust. Naming the trust is common, for identification purposes, but it is not required.
