Can I give my house to my daughter only when I die?

Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
You may give your home to your daughter only when you die. The easiest way to accomplish this would be to have a beneficiary deed prepared deeding the property to your daughter at the time of your death. Beneficiary deeds do not take effect until the grantor on the deed (this would be you) dies. In the meantime, it leaves you free to do anything you want with the property including selling it or pledge in a security for a loan. You should have a real estate lawyer prepare the deed for you and once you have signed it you need to recorded in the recorder of deeds office for the county in which the property is located.

My dad passed away 3 weeks ago and he didn't have a last will, how do I go about getting power of attorney because I'm his oldest born?

It depends on how much property he had. If it is less than $200,000 of real estate and $75,000 of other property, you can use a small estate affidavit.

Is there any law against the other 3 parties making money off of what I've paid and worked for?

Probably not. If you own the property together, then they share in the profit with you. If you are able to do so, the best option you have may be to buy the others out.
