Deed and title are they the same when one spouse's name is on one but both names are on the title?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
There's some confusion here; there is no separate document that is "title" to real property. A deed is a document which transfers real property; it's recorded in the county records. What the county records say is about 90% of the argument; rarely can there be ownership of real property which does not conform to the county records. A "title," as for example to a car, is a document that shows ownership. To transfer a car, you have to sign over the title, and the new owner has to get a new title issued in their name. It's a completely different system. Then, there's manufactured homes. They are personal property, like a car, and they have a title, handled through the Building Codes Division. So, you could have a manufactured home, with title in both spouses, sitting on land which is only in the name of one spouse. If the spouse who owns the land passes away, his or her ownership of the land would transfer according to his or her will, in a probate. If that is your case, fix it now, before either spouse passes away.

When setting up a power of attorney for married parents are they automatically first or do they need to be named?

Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
When setting up a power of attorney for anyone, the attorney in fact (i.e., the agent named) must actually be named in the document. So if you are helping your parents, each parent may designate, in writing, the name of the person they wish to act for them under the power.

How do I get a power of attorney if the person is already dead?

Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
All POAs end at death. You will need permission from a probate court to settle your mother's estate. If the estate is small, you may be able to be named a special administrator which would allow you to do certain things like close bank accounts. However, if your mother's estate is larger, you may need to be named executor by the court.
