Can I just destroy an old will and make it invalid?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Under Nevada law absent a provision in your decree the Will as to your ex-husband is invalid. You can destroy it to revoke it. I usually suggest my clients destroy it, and write canceled/revoked on it, rip in a few pieces and save to show it was revoked. Also notify the attorney who drafted it, so it is clear that it was revoked. Best to make a Will to handle your affairs and state that all prior Wills are revoked.

Can a property be sold by half?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
It is suggested that you obtain a qualified appraisal of the value of the property; then you offer to buy out her one half; you may need legal representation to accomplish this suggestion; the alternate way is to force a sale of the property by filing a petition to partition the property forcing a sale through escrow, at which time you can also bid to buy out her half of the property at sale.

If I have power of attorney for my mother who is now incapacitated, can I transfer property into my own name using a quit claim deed?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
You really should not do this. Self-dealing is a breach of your fiduciary duties. Also, there are tax consequences to transferring property during life, as opposed to inheriting it. Finally, if your mother were to need assistance from the state's Medicaid program, your gifts to yourself would disqualify her for a period of time.
