Loraine M. DiSalvo
Answered by attorney Loraine M. DiSalvo
Estate Planning lawyer at Morgan & DiSalvo, P.C.
You need the administrator of the estates (who may be you- it's not clear from your post) to write a deed transferring the property from your parents' estates to you. It is often called an Administrator's Deed. That deed gets recorded with the Superior Court of the county where the property is located. The deed should not be executed or recorded before the estate administration has been fully completed otherwise- in other words, all of the creditors have to have been properly notified and outstanding debts paid in full, and the distribution must be made properly. Yes, you should have an attorney help you with all of that, including the deed. Find a good probate attorney and have them help you finish up the process.   Best wishes to you and please accept my condolences on the loss of your parents.

What happens if my parents do not specify a benefactor?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
The term "benefactor" is confusing. A "benefactor" is one who benefits another. The person who takes under a will is a "devisee." No one would write a will that has no devisees that would be a completely pointless document. Your parents should have some estate planning done by a lawyer experienced in the area.

How can I obtain a power of attorney from my father who has dementia?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
It is probably too late for your father to execute a power of attorney. He needs to possess a minimum of testamentary capacity to execute a power of attorney. It sounds like you will need to obtain legal guardianship through the courts to be appointed his guardian and be authorized to make both health care and financial decisions for him. The Clark County Family Courthouse has a self-help center where you can purchase forms or view them online if you want to try to prepare the paperwork on your own. It is not a seamless process so it is usually preferable to hire an attorney with significant guardianship experience to assist you.
