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?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
His personal representative would have to sign a personal representative's deed. If there is a will, the person nominated in the will should take the will to court and start a probate case. If there is no will, then his wife, children, parents, or creditors may petition the court to start a probate case.

What happens to the house if I die?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kristen A Carron (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Kristen Carron, LLC
If you refinance your house and add you husband to the title, he now owns one half of the house. What happens to the house on your death will depend on how the house is titled. If you own the house with your husband as Tenants by the Entirety (which is most common with married couples) the entire house will pass to your husband on your death and he will become the sole owner. He can then leave it to whomever he wants presumably his 2 daughters. However, if he dies first, then you'd become the sole owner and can leave the house to your children. If you own the house as Tenants in Common, then you can leave your one half of the house to your children. Your children would then own the house with your husband at your death. He would also be able to leave his one half to his daughters and then after your husband passes, all the children would own it together.

What happens if I was never notified that I was a beneficiary in a trust?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Without reviewing the trust document itself, no one can answer this question.  In some states a trustee is required to provide an annual accounting to any beneficiary 25 or older.  But damages must be shown before a beneficiary who was not notified is entitled to any compensation.  "Strong arming" might fall within the category of undue influence but undue influence is extraordinarily difficult to prove.  Without reviewing the trust document itself (which if it was available publicly appears to be a trust created by Will), it appears that you are likely entitled to nothing and would spend a great deal in legal fees trying to get it.
