An the name implies, a revocable trust can be "revoked"- you ( or a lawyer with experience in them) will need to review the trust document and comply with the procedures set forth in the trust. Additionally, if assets ( land or money) have been conveyed to the trust or the trustees, those... View More

The question is who are the Grantees in the Deed. If it is to the two of you, it should say something like "as joint tenants with right of survivorship" or "as co-tenants" or language to that effect. If it doesn't specify how you share the property, state law probably... View More

This situation is FAR too complicated to provide you any good advice in this sort of forum. You NEED to seek out local legal counsel to insure you know what is going on and whether or not you have any sort of interest in the property! It is hard to believe the Court would allow this matter to... View More

the answer depends somewhat on your plans for the property. if you plan to sell or borrow money using the land as collateral any time soon, you will need to probate the will since either of those options will involve some for m of 'title search" being done , and that search will raise... View More

Perhaps a search of birth and death records? Maybe a neighbor or some distant kin? However, if there is truly no one who is willing to sign, there is a kind of lawsuit to "quiet title." This is obviously more expensive, but getting a court order confirming the ownership is the only other... View More

Generally, only the original "TRUSTOR" can change the terms and obviously they can't make any changes after they die. Your question is unclear- who is "UBS"? If this has been attempted, a lawsuit needs to be filed asap seeking to enjoin any further action and to set... View More

Sorry, but you haven't provided enough information to understand your situation. Please explain what you mean by "wholesaling." Generally, a seller can sell to whoever they want. Buyer and seller are free to agree on all kinds of terms.

yes, but to be precise- there's not enough information in your question to provide a proper answer. There are always pros and cons to every decision. You don't mention the value of the property ( there might be gift taxes).

You don't explain why you think this is a good idea... View More

A trust is generally a written document ( although sometimes it is part of or contained in another document, like a will). The author of the trust ( not the lawyer preparing it, but the person creating the trust ) is called the trustor. The person handling the money or assets is called the... View More

If you are under 18, the law says you lack the required maturity to act for someone else. You may be very mature for your age, but unfortunately, the law applies to everyone, and it does not allow for "special exceptions". You should find another adult to act for your mother.

This is going to require a lawyer- You can't handle this yourself. There are lots of complex legal issues here- the statute of limitations ( time deadlines) the type of alimony originally awarded ( divorce law) Evidence issues ( about the oral agreement and the "dead's man... View More

A will, once a person has died, CANNOT be changed- think about it, once you're dead, there's no doing anything. However, the wording you described sounds confusing, and this sometimes happens; the deceased is not clear about what he/she wanted done. In those cases, the judge sometimes has... View More

Power of attorney, no matter how broad, does not give one the right to commit fraud. The power of attorney grants a fiduciary duty to the holder. Consult counsel if you think something is awry.

The statute of limitations on a will contest is 2 years, but creditors of an estate have only 1 year to file claims against an estate. You do not say whether there has been an administration of your grandmother's estate, but if you are going to contest anything, you will be bound by the... View More

Your question is unclear- by "policy" I assume you mean a life insurance policy. If he did not name a specific individual as the beneficiary of this policy, then most likely the death benefits would be paid to his estate. You've said he had no will and was not married, so under... View More

Some banks, most likely the smaller one, might be alert enough to notice a customer's passing due an obituary in the local newspaper, but it seems much more likely to me that the only notice your family would get would be a bill for the monthly or annual rent for the box. If an estate is... View More

The general rule is that any "fiduciary" ( a person in a position of trust, one who handles someone's money) should be bonded; in other words, there should be some insurance obtained to protect the owners in the event the fiduciary turns out to be dishonest and steals some of the... View More

I suspect you won't find a form for this- its unusual and fact specific. Look for "termination of trust." A trust is a written document, so you ought to get a copy of it and read it carefully- it may contain specific terms which describe under what circumstances it can be terminated.... View More

It sounds like you may not be a beneficiary under the will. If you were then you would have been contacted by the attorney or your sister to let you know that you are a beneficiary and what share you would receive. If he said that you need to a subpoena the will in order to see it, then you should... View More

You might run afoul of rules or laws against the unauthorized practice of law.
