Can I quick claim a deed to property to someone other than the person who is named in the trust and it be binding when I pass?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Not knowing the terms of the trust as to whether any restrictions on the transfer of the property you want to Quit (not quick) Claim, you are advised to go to the lawyer to handle the transaction after reviewing the terms of the trust re property transfers. The old saying still applies "an ounce of prevention is still cheaper than a pound of cure".

What should we do if the mother in law reneged on promises?

Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
Go see a counselor first. Then visit with a lawyer there who specializes in contract litigation to determine if you have any legal claims.

What can I do if I fear that my sister, who has power of attorney over Mom affairs, isn't putting the money I send in Mom's bank account?

Edwin George Fee
Answered by attorney Edwin George Fee (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Whiteford, Taylor & Preston L.L.P.
The power of attorney should allow your sister to deposit the checks into your mother's account. Perhaps you could wire the money directly from your bank to your mother's bank. You also could ask your sisters for copies of your mother's bank statements so that you may verify the deposits and withdrawals from the account.
