Only a living individual or their Power of Attorney can execute a quit claim deed. Upon death, the administrator/executor of the estate assumes control of the assets.

Married with outdated revocable trust. Need all new estate planning. What is average cost range for full Estate plan of medium complexity?

Charles H. Sanford
Answered by attorney Charles H. Sanford (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles H. Sanford Law Offices P.L.
I assume that you need wills, trust(s) for both you and your spouse. A simple (nontaxable estate) trust package for a couple should cost about $900-$1,100. Slightly higher if this is the second marriage. Extensive customization of the documents involving testamentary trusts, elective share trust,  special needs trusts, or a retirement trust is also slightly more. e also more expensive.

What happens to the house if I die?

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If you transfer your house to your husband (which is what he's talking about don't focus on the loan, focus on the ownership; and remember, the lender will only write a loan for the person or people who own the house) nothing happens when you die, because you don't own the house any more. Your husband could write a will leaving the house to your sons; he could also change his will or sell the house after you die. I cannot imagine that there are savings so substantial from refinancing that it is worth taking this risk.
