Q: will there be any problems with selling properties in a trust that was signed by PoA on the same day the grantor passed
We thought the trust was done weeks before but it wasn’t. The lawyer handling it or boggling it said no title company would insure the property thus creating a big problem

A: As the grantor passed away, you are stuck with the facts as they are. I am sure some title company will insure it. The issue is whether the next of kin oppose it.
A: If the transfer by the Trust is not a different disposition than what the Estate would have made, you may be able to find a title company to insure the transaction provided all would be beneficiaries of the Estate consent and waive possible objections.
