Which is better to do, a living trust or a last will?

Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
Living trusts can be expensive and time consuming to create and are usually reserved for larger estate ($1 million or more). Wills are much easier to create and can be changed at any time. A simple will would allow you to leave the home to her. Be aware that because you aren't married, there may be tax consequences to consider with either choice. You both should also have living wills, power of attorney for health care, and power of attorney for financial matters that permit the other person to act on your behalf in emergency situations.

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

Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Yes, however, he has to be doing so at either the direction of the brother, or for the brother's best interest. A power holder has a fiduciary duty to the power grantor.

In almost every state, it is the law that a person with possession of a Will must file it with the local county court (where the decedent lived at the time of death) within 30 days of death. Check with the local court and if there is no will.
