Can my neighbor put a fence up without out my permission?

Answered by attorney George Martin Derieg (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Derieg Law Firm
Generally, your neighbor can do this if it is on their own property. Check local municipal codes on the matter just to be sure.

How does one go about transferring assets from a trust?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
I would recommend that you get a lawyer's help with the administration of the trust. Have you filed all required tax returns? Have you paid all the creditors? Have you met all the statutory requirements for post mortem administration? Basic answer, yes, a Certification and Memorandum of Trust which meets the statutory criteria is all that anyone should need. However, convincing banks and brokerages (whose offices are usually in California, New York or elsewhere) is rarely worth the trouble. Half the time, we just give up a copy of the trust. It's their filing system that's going to have to hold an extra 40 pages.
