How can someone with power of attorney gift a house to someone else?: My grandfather is sick with dementia and we(me and sister/poas) want to gift the house to a trusted family friend to help cut out some of his bills to save money. We want to know if we can if we even can do, how to be able to do that and what we need to be able to get it done.
Fredrick’s answer: I am sorry to hear about your grandfather. As a power of attorney, gifting the house can be called into question by the court system, as there are NJ state laws that prevent unlimited gifting. I encourage you to reach out to someone on how to go about doing this without having it called into question by the courts, and check out my blog on the pitfalls of gifting as a Power of Attorney: https://www.hnwlaw.com/2008/09/05/agent-with-po...
How can I find out the name of my great aunt's life insurance company, and can my aunt prevent me from getting the policy?: In 2009 my mom's sister called to find out if I wanted to take over ownership of an insurance policy that my great aunt's had paid up until her death. When she found out there was a cash out, she wouldn't provide me with any of the insurance info. She was the executor of my great aunt's estate, and was telling me that she wanted to see if she could change the policy to just a burial policy instead. I angered her when I contacted an attorney who contacted her estate attorney. I have not heard anything since. I don't know if I was the beneficiary of this policy or which insurance company held it. It's probably way too late now. There was a will that lists my aunt as taking ownership of my great aunt's things. I wonder if it includes the policy? What can I do? My aunt was a resident of Seattle, WA
Fredrick’s answer: Unfortunately when it comes to life insurance, you do not have many options. Whoever is the beneficiary of the life insurance policy will get the money when your great aunt dies. A will cannot control that. Our courts are strict on this issue. Check out my blog on this issue: https://www.hnwlaw.com/2009/03/13/supreme-court...
