Am I still the beneficiary if my ex wife passed away?

Answered by attorney Theodore A. Speaker (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Speaker Law Firm
When she passed, she was a resident of South Carolina. Each state has different laws - you need to ask a South Carolina attorney.

If my father signs something in writing for a quit claim deed will this stop my sister from recording hers?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Quitclaim deeds are messy. Did you father deliver the deed to your sister in October when he signed it? If so he may have validly transferred it to her then. If so, then your deed may be of no effect. Without knowing all of the facts it is hard to say. Your father may need to initiate litigation to get the property back into his name. He may have issues if he needs to go on Medicaid,etc. That being said an attorney should be consulted sooner rather than later! Your father should have probably done an estate plan.

What is the law regarding selling my mother's home after she is put in assisted living?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If someone has a power of attorney that gives them the power to sell the home, they can do this. You may need to petition the court to be named conservator so you can handle financial matters. In either case, you must act only in your mother's best interests, and manage her money to get the best care for her. If she will spend a long time in assisted living, it is likely that she will spend all her assets for her care. Incidentally "diagnosed with dementia" does not mean incapacitated. You should continue to the extent possible to involve your mother in decisions and respect her wishes.
