It sounds like only the first deed is valid. Jack & Jill were not the owners as individuals at the time of the second execution, that is, if the second transfer was as individuals as you imply.
I want wives to receive disbursements if sons pass.
You can do that. Just have a trust amendment prepared to change the terms of your trust. Easy peasy -- assuming your trust is revocable (meaning changeable and dissolvable.) If the trust is irrevocable (not changeable except in certain very specific circumstances), it will take some advanced estate... Read more »

I recommend that you file a written objection with the court as soon as possible. I also recommend that you attend the court hearing to make sure that your objection is heard. In addition, if the appointed administrator has full authority and decides to sell the house, then you will still have... Read more »
My mom bought her house before she married my stepdad and then added him to the deed without right of survivorship 15 years after they were married. They were married for 25 years. My mom then died without a will. If my stepdad files a spousal property petition, could he be granted my share of my... Read more »
It would be helpful to have some additional information, including exactly how the deed adding your stepdad was titled, as well as how long they were married. Assuming you are the only child, you would be entitled to fifty percent of your Mom's separate property and that would have to be... Read more »
I have a transfer on death dead for my dad and a separate one for my stepmom. They are joint owners of a home and I am the sole beneficiary for both. My dad passed away. Do I now own his 50% share of the home or is his share now owned by his widow?
It is not possible to answer your question without seeing exactly how title was held by your dad and stepmom. If they truly held title jointly with right of survivorship, then your stepmom now owns the home. If the TOD to you remains in place until she dies, then you will own it when she dies.
B (NY) left her estate to two sisters; A (NY) and M (FL). The sisters both predeceased B. Beneficiaries to A's estate are her two children (NY). The beneficiaries to M's estate are brother P (CA), and niece, J (FL). P is the last living sibling to B, A, and M.
Most Trusts and WIlls contain language stating who will receive a particular gift if the beneficiary passes away before the person who set up the Trust ("settlor" or "grantor") or Will. If your document contains this type of language, then whatever it says will be what happens.... Read more »
Jack as trustee of trust A conveys property to jack as trustee of trust B?
I believe this is your third question about your grant deeds. I suggest you go to a lawyer and get your situation handled properly rather than try to piece together various lawyers’ advice. But to answer your question, it is possible to transfer property from one trust to another, but not in all... Read more »
Jack conveys property to beneficiary instead of jack as trustee of said trust. Can he file corrective deed to validate transaction as of date of original deed?
Yes. A corrective deed will most likely clear up the defect in the first transfer. I'd recommend having an attorney handle the preparation of the corrective Deed.
Is the property in a or b. If still in trust a, does subsequent deed conveying trust into trust b affect title chain..can it be left recorded as is or is there some type of procedure needs to be done
The answer to your question depends on the language in your specific deeds. If the grantor is still alive and has a revocable trust, it’s possible the property could be in either trust. Some people have more than one trust (for example, a separate property trust and a community property trust)... Read more »
Trust transfer deed "jack and jill transfer to jack and jill as trustees of jack and jill trust" quitclaim deed "jack and jill transfer to daughter
The trust still owns the property. The deed from them, as individuals, rather than trustees, did not convey good title to their daughter, because they, as individuals, did not own the property.
There is no will. She started the divorce paperwork but didn't finalize anything. Is she entitled to everything. My brother does have a daughter.
It depends on whether your brother had a trust or will. Since the divorce was not final, she will definitely be entitled to something. But, whether she gets everything will depend on the language in the trust or will, if there was one in place. Otherwise, if your brother had assets totalling more... Read more »

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. You shouldn't feel bad about asking your dad for a copy of the Trust document since you are clearly entitled to a copy. Under California law (Probate Code section 16061.7) every Trust beneficiary, and every heir-at-law of the decedent, is entitled to... Read more »
I'm out. And I would like to close or end or dissolve the trust, basically my buddy does not want to manage the trust now that I am out. What steps do I need to take. The trust was formed in CA.
If you want to terminate (revoke) the trust, just sign a simple letter to the trustee which says you hereby revoke the trust and to return all trust property to your management and control. If you want to keep the trust and simply change the trustee of the trust (from your buddy to you), again, a... Read more »
I want to give my benefits to another sibling without receiving distribution. Can I sign it over by filling out an alternate payee or similar form with estate attorney?
The easiest way for you to accomplish your goal would be to just accept distributions and then gift like amounts to your sibling. Be sure to talk with your tax advisor first about the gift tax consequences and talk to your attorney about the Medicaid penalty consequences.
Even if you were... Read more »
Yes, that is entirely possible, but there are pros and cons to that structure. Whether that is a suitable structure for your purposes is something you should discuss with an experienced estate planning attorney.

Your parents need to work with their estate planning attorney. Giving you the home now, while they are alive, is not the best way to go from a tax perspective. If you wait to get the home after your parents pass away, your parents will save a lot of money in taxes -- that is, unless the law changes... Read more »
