What can someone who was not granted power of attorney do to keep a home?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
Powers of attorney cease to work upon the death of the person who granted them. So even if she had a power of attorney from her mother, it would be useless now. She needs to show that she is entitled to inherit the house from her mother (and that her mother was entitled to inherit from grandpa). If she can do that, and she has the death certificates, she can have title to the house placed in her name. This is a fairly complicated task, so she should talk to a local probate or real estate attorney about her situation.

Joint Tenancy vs Joint Tenancy w/ right of survivorship

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald William Lyster (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Lyster, Inc.
"Joint tenancy" is a form of ownership that carries right of survivorship.  The term "right of survivorship" is a bit redundant, but many lawyers (me included) prefer to use it to make things crystal clear.  A deed of trust is a security instrument, given to a lender to secure repayment of a loan (or sometimes other obligations).  It works like a mortgage.  The instrument that determines how title is held is the deed.  That is usually a "grant deed."  The lender may repeat in its deed of trust how title is held on the deed, so most likely your parents' house is held in joint tenancy and no probate will be required on the death of the first of them to die.  However, at that point (following the first death) only one of them will have title to the property, and if he or she wants probate avoidance then something else will need to be done (such as creating a revocable trust).
