My husband and I would like to sell our land, however, it is in a trust with his 2 sibblings with undevided interest. We own 3/4 of the land...

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
If the land is in a trust, you do not own it:  the trust does.  The trustee decides whether to sell the land.  The beneficiaries (apparently your husband and his two siblings) do not. If a trustee is not putting the interests of the beneficiaries first but is putting his own interests first, the beneficiaries can sue to have him removed.  But whether selling or not selling the land is putting the beneficiaries first is a big question.  You may want to take a copy of the trust agreement to a lawyer who does fiduciary litigation and discuss the specific facts.

Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
No, you do not have to leave your children anything. If you want to do that, you should name them in your Will and state specifically that you are not leaving them anything. You do not have to give a reason and it is better legally to not give a reason.

Can my husband put his name on the deed of his brother's condo if he has a POA over his assets?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Yes, however, he has to be doing so at either the direction of the brother, or for the brother's best interest. A power holder has a fiduciary duty to the power grantor.
