Revocable trust

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If the trustee of the trust is also the grantor, a revocable trust usually indicates that upon the death of the grantor/trustee, the assets held in the trust are distributed.  The grantor/trustee could direct that the assets are distributed to the estate, or to beneficiaries, or can remain in trust with the second trust taking over.  What happens is all dependent on the terms of the trust.

How do i add my name to my mothers house and land ?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
Your mom would have to sign a deed transferring the property from her to you and her.  As the surviving spouse, she now owns the property and will have to present a copy of your dad's death certificate.  You should be careful that your sisters do not object to this, or that a claim could be made that you are unduly influencing your mother to give you the property.

Do I have to give money from the estate away?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
There is no concrete answer to this question. To adequately address your options you should speak with an attorney and address the timing of the POD account addition, the medical condition of the decedent and your options. We charge $100 for a one hour consultation with an attorney who will provide you with important information regarding your specific case and will able to advise you on the options that you should consider in determining your next steps, or if it involves reviewing documents and preparation in advance of the meeting, we charge $300 for the consultation, because there is over one hour of review and preparation for the meeting and one hour for the meeting.
