- Q. KOSMOSGifts.com helps preserve wisdom digitally and pre-plan gifts can they partner with estate planning offices?
- A: It depends on what you mean by the term “partner.” Lawyers define the term as someone in a limited partnership or general partnership. The ethics code prohibits lawyers from splitting profits with non-lawyers in almost all circumstances. So, if you are asking whether lawyers can be in a partnership with your company, I’d say, “highly unlikely.” On the other hand, if you are interested in having lawyers market your product for you, I’d say it is possible, but not likely. Estate planning lawyers review their clients’ entire financial portfolio and help them solidify a plan to accomplish the clients’ goals, whether keeping taxes low, making charitable contributions, paying for grandchildren’s ...

- Q. What is a trustee called after the grantor dies? The trustee was also listed as a co trustee.
- A: The legal term “Trustee” is the title of the person with the right to handle assets in the trust and who must fulfill all the legal duties associated with that right. The word “Co-Trustee” means there are two people serving together as Trustees.

The Trustees in line behind the Settlor are called “Successor Trustees” because they succeed (serve as Trustee after) the Settlor. If there are two Successor Trustees, they are either ... Read More
- Q. Lender added me on the deed as trustee along with my mother on my mother’s trust and on the loan as a co-borrower.
- A: No, that is not the correct procedure. Among other things, the real estate should be titled in the trust. There are a lot of legal issues in your question including there may be too many people named as Successor Trustees (depending on the number of siblings.) Your mother really needs to see an estate planning attorney or you and the other Successor Trustees may have a big mess on your hands after she passes. By the way, since it is your mother's trust, she is the client who needs to meet with the attorney. It is not a good idea to have adult children in the meeting with the parents' attorney because the person in the room is opening themselves up to a potential claim of elder abuse, ... Read More
