Probably not, unless he left a Will that names you as a beneficiary. You should consult with an attorney to address your specific issues as your question is very generic.

Can my husband put his name on the deed of his brother's condo if he has a POA over his assets?

Answered by attorney Susan Goodkind Wideman (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Wideman Law Center, P.C.
Technically he could, but legally he should only do what the brother wants and is in the brother's best interest. If your husband is the only one to benefit from the transaction he may be violating civil and criminal laws.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
The community property of your mother and father can be reached for the debt that your father incurred. When someone passes away, moreover, their estate is liable for their debts, and any property transferred without those debts being paid can still be reached by creditors to pay the debt, unless those debts are extinguished in a probate proceeding. It seems clear that any creditor of your father will be able to make a claim against the death benefits once they are received, and will be able to "follow" those benefits to whomever receives them. In any event, a person's estate does not pass automatically free and clear of any debts that person may have incurred.
