How do I get my name on my parents' house deed?

Answered by attorney Sabina Tomshinsky
Estate Planning lawyer at Home Town Law, P.A.
You need to pursue a petition to determine homestead status of real property (if the property was your parents' homestead). The Order determining homestead status would then transfer title to the house to you. It would serve your interests to consult with a probate attorney in your area to ensure that the conveyance is done right.

My father passed away. I am the only living relative my mother has. If she became incapacitated - would I need a Power of Attorney?

Christopher Kennedy Caswell
Answered by attorney Christopher Kennedy Caswell (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Christopher K. Caswell, P.A.
Yes, that is one way that you can be enabled to deal with her financial affairs. Another way is for your mother to enter into a fully funded revocable living trust naming you as successor trustee. For many reasons this is a better way of dealing with incapacity, although most people probably use the durable power of attorney. Having said that, if your mother grants you that power, make sure that it is the new version of the durable power of attorney, as the statute in Florida was significantly changed in October of 2011. This is specific to Florida law and does not constitute legal advice as the facts presented are anonymous and incomplete. This is intended for general education only and does not create an attorney-client relationship. This should not be relied on and you must seek your own attorney client relationship.

How do I get half of whatever money my family member left?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
Call the clerk's office in the county where he died and get the phone number of the estate's lawyer. He will probably talk with you. If that doesn't work, go down to the probate clerk's office yourself and ask to see the file. The file will contain a will (if there was one) an inventory of assets and any claims. If it looks like your sister is not recognizing you as a beneficiary and is boxing you out, you can either hire a lawyer or write a letter to the judge and complain. The judge will most likely call a hearing and invite you to attend.
