2067 Questions Answered
- Q. As trustee and executor and poa, Can I sell a piece of property in the family trust if it willed to a family member?
- A: Short answer is the documents will govern what you are allowed to do. However, if the trustee has the power to sell, and a will says it should be conveyed a certain way, there may be some inconsistency in the estate plan which needs to be addressed. But, if the property is titled in the trust, the trust (and not the will) governs.
- Q. What rights to cash proceeds and assets of a discontinued synagogue does the congregation have?
- A: None. That is why typically a merger with an existing congregation is done.
- Q. Am I entitled to any of the remaining balance of my house after it sold after my bankruptcy?
- A: You would be unless you had other creditors. The trustee would have paid all the creditors and then if anything was left, paid you. There should have been a final report in the case.
