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

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
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.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

Dera L. Johnsen-Tracy
Answered by attorney Dera L. Johnsen-Tracy
Estate Planning lawyer at Horn & Johnsen SC
If your parents reside in a community property state, or in a marital property state, then your mother would likely be held responsible for any debts your father incurred during marriage. Note that there are rare exceptions to this rule, and your mother may wish to consult with an attorney regarding her options. On the other hand, your father's children would likely not be held responsible for his debts, unless they entered into some type of personal guarantee.

How do I get my deceased parents' house transferred into my name?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
You probably need to file a small estate affidavit for both of your parents in the counties where they died. If your mother and father died with less than $50,000.00 in assets (not including their homestead real estate), you may file a small estate affidavit to transfer their assets to your name. It's unclear if you have siblings, but if you do, each of you will own equal shares of the property left behind. I recommend you contact an estate planning attorney to advise you on the specifics of your case. Good luck.
