ksmith517 asked:


My father is dying and doesn’t want to have his properties probated, yet he never set up a trust or quit claimed the properties to us children. I have durable power of attorney. Can I quit claim the house and land to me and my siblings, legally? This is my father’s wish, so we’re not doing anything he wouldn’t want. Or could I set up a family trust as his POA?
Thanks for the help!

lalaland asked:


I am going into my third year as an undergrad student, and I’ll be graduating with a degree in biology. I’m weighing out my options for grad school, and I’m considering law. The only thing is, I wouldn’t want to work for a private practice because career wise that’s not where I would see myself. I’d like to apply my knowledge of the sciences as an attorney. Is it possible to do this anywhere?

gwl1313 asked:


For example, can an attorney notarize a living will made for a client? I know notaries cannot be a party to the contract, will, etc., but the attorney is merely drafting the document.

So, can an attorney be the notary on a document he drafts for a client?
