How can I regain my assets after signing a POA?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
You notify the person to whom you granted the power that the power is no longer in effect. You should also notify any third parties who have seen or accepted the power of attorney (for example a bank.) A simple one or two sentence letter should suffice. If the power of attorney was filed in county records, then I would file a revocation with county records as well, just to be safe.

How can I make sure that I would not lose my mother’s property?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Assuming mother did not have a will, you can file heirship affidavits and deeds to re-title the property to your name. You can then pay taxes and keep the property. You will need a probate lawyer and/or a title company to assist you.

Can I set up multiple living trusts and put different properties in each?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Richard Eldon Blasco (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Richard E. Blasco, Inc.
Yes. You can set up multiple living trusts. However, what I have done in the past is to set up one living trust, and then have multiple irrevocable sub trusts. Each sub trust provides that upon a sale of the asset (i.e. real property) that the trust owns, unless a 1031 exchange occurs, the Irrevocable sub trust is terminated. The sole beneficiary of the irrevocable sub trust is the primary revocable living trust. If you (i.e. the trustee) want to buy one or more other properties, you just create a new irrevocable sub trust. I first began using this method with a client who owned multiple preschools, and the real property upon which they were located. Even with insurance, there is substantial risk of liability based upon the acts of employees, or just rumors about the school. In the 1980's commercial trustees lobbied for changes in the liability of trustees of California trust estates following changes in the law that required remediation of contaminated real property in California. Commercial trustees found themselves with unlimited liability when they merely held title to a parcel of real property that had been leased to a company that caused the contamination, or upon which contamination had migrated. There were others who were responsible for the contamination, but in many cases the companies not longer existed or did not have the resources to perform the remediation and filed bankruptcy.
