What steps are needed to transfer property after a death with a will?
I need to do an Heirship. My friend's mother passed away and he is the only heir. She has a will leaving everything to him. All she had was a very inexpensive piece of property. A neighbor of the property purchased the property from my friend. He now wants to transfer the property into the buyer's name. His mother had nothing else of value and no other heirs. What are the steps I need to take to complete this?
How do I put my home in just my name since my husband is deceased?
My husband passed away over 2 years ago. I would like to have our house deed in my name only, the house is paid for. Is this something I can do through Legal Zoom?
Can I sell trust property to pay a debt as a trustee?
My parents have both passed away. I am Successor-Trustee for their Rev Living Trust. They owned a family farm which has not been distributed as of yet. Can I sell a small piece of acreage to satisfy a debt? What if this piece of land is earmarked for a certain heir if still within the Trust at time of settlement--can I still sell it? This piece of ground is not connected to the original family farm at all. I have two people wanting to build a home on it. It is the easiest piece of land to sell and it would satisfy all creditors.
Can my mother sign a transfer on death (TOD) form to eliminate probate?
My mom is dying. She survives my Dad. She has some personal assets which are in her name. She has a will that dispenses monies from $1000 to $25000 to various people and leaves the remainder to myself and my brother. The total assets are less than then amount that would trigger estate tax. Should I have her sign a transfer on death (TOD) form to eliminate probate. If so, how to fund the people in will to avoid any tax (such as gift tax) ?
