Legal Answers
155 Questions Answered
- Q. My Big Brother Todd Passed Away April 8,2023 My Other Brother and I Took Todd off of Life Support! WE All Thought I Was
- A: I am very sorry for your loss. You really need to consult a probate attorney to get the big picture on Todd's estate, particularly since you are unable to locate a will. Generally speaking, the POD account transfers to you automatically. But that has nothing to do with any real estate he owned. To transfer real estate you will have to start a probate. A probate attorney in your area can help you through that process.
- Q. Condo association fee question
- A: Your requirements for paying special assessments such as this should be addressed in the Declarations for the Condo Association that you were given by the title company at the time you purchased the condo. That document will detail how special assessments are determined and each condo owner's payment requirements.
- Q. My mom would like to put our names on the deed to her home. It doesn't have a mortgage as she has paid it completely.
- A: There are a couple of options, depending on your mother's goal in adding you to the title. One option is a Beneficiary Deed, which transfers ownership of the property at your mother's death to the people designated in the deed. If, in the alternative, she wishes to transfer ownership immediately, she can do that as well. But there may be gift tax consequences associated with this transfer. She should consult with an attorney to determine the best way to accomplish her goal and the attorney should also be able to prepare whatever deed she decides is appropriate for her situation.
