If I am appointed the successor trustee for my father's living trust and he has passed away, am I now the trustee or must legal steps be taken first?

James E. Reed
Answered by attorney James E. Reed
Estate Planning lawyer at Vandervoort, Christ & Fisher, P.C.
Legally, nothing is required, but those dealing with the Trust will want some evidence you are the proper person now serving as Trustee. That is generally accomplished by providing a copy of your father's death certificate, a copy of the Trust or a certificate of trust, and an Acceptance of Trust that you sign agreeing to act as Trustee.

Can a codicil be admitted without the will it references?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Not likely unless when you look at the will and codicil you do have, it makes sense and would suggest the "2011" is a typo. Have an attorney review all of the documents that you do have, and he/she can properly advise you. Most attorneys give free consultations.

If mom put my brother on the deed to her property does this give his wife any claim to the property in the event of mom's death or a divorce?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
You don't "put someone on the deed." What is happening there is that an interest in the real property is being given to that new owner. Your brother now owns half of the property (I assume it's just Mom and him). So, yes, if your mom dies, your brother will be the owner of half (depending on how deed is worded) or all of the property. If your brother gets a divorce, his half will be a marital asset potentially "on the table" for the settlement. He owns part of the property. Incidentally, was a gift tax return filed when this gift was made?
