Can my husband use his Durable Power of Attorney to file quick claim deed of his father's land into his name?

Answered by attorney Robert Ingham Long (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Robert I. Long
In California, t here is a presumption that self-dealing as agent under a power of attorney is voidable as a breach of fiduciary duty. Also, if his father lacks capacity to sign a deed himself, the power of attorney he gave your husband may be invalid unless it is a "durable" power of attorney; i.e., survives incapacity. That also raises the question of whether he issued the power to your husband at a time when he had sufficient legal capacity.

The percentage depends on the whether there were children of the deceased and if the surviving spouse was the mother at least one of those children.
