If the power of attorney expires when my father passed away, who is to sign the quick claim deed to transfer my father’s home ownership and title?

Rick Lee Denker
Answered by attorney Rick Lee Denker
Estate Planning lawyer at Denker Associates, PLLC
If your father owned real estate at the time of his death in his name only, it will be necessary to file a probate of his estate. Once the probate court has appointed a personal representative for the estate, the personal representative will be able to sale and transfer the property, subject to approval by the probate court.

Answered by attorney Kevin W. Bruning (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bruning & Associates, P.C.
The document you are referring to is a "quitclaim" deed; there is no such thing as a "quickclaim" deed. In order to have the authority to sell the house of someone who is deceased, there needs to be an administrator of your father's estate appointed in a probate proceeding. This requires the filing of a probate case in order to obtain the right to administer the property and transfer it to other individuals that inherit from the estate.

I have a trust but would like to make some changes, can this be done?

Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Robert I. Long
I think you've answered your own question: You need to see an attorney to be advised if you can make changes (revocable) or not (irrevocable). You are never tied to an attorney, and if you paid for the trust, it belongs to you.
