Dear sir,   You seem to be confusing your trust with a power of attorney. The law in Florida regarding powers of attorney has changed since 2011 and "springing " power of attorney are no longer valid if made after the date of the new law. "Springing" means that the agent's power only begins once the Principal becomes incapacitated. Please discuss this with your lawyer. I'm sure he can help with this.

I HAVE MY DEAD MOMS QUIT CLAIM DEED THAT HAS ME AND HER WITH THIS WORDING "TENANTS IN COMMON WITH RIGHTS OF SUVIVORSHIP. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME.

Stephen Arnold Black
Answered by attorney Stephen Arnold Black
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Stephen A. Black
Because the deed lists the owners as tenants in common rather than joint tenants with right of survivorship, your mother’s 50% interest does not automatically transfer to the surviving co‑owner. At her death, her share must go through Florida probate, and title will pass to the beneficiary named in her will—or, if she had no will, to her heirs under Florida’s intestate succession laws. To move forward with any sale of the property, you’ll need a Florida probate attorney to handle the administration and transfer of her 50% interest.
