Typically, a Last Will and Testament cannot be used to control the future use of an asset (including cash) once it has been distributed.
Usually, a Will can only designate the amount (or percentage) of the estate and name the beneficiary or beneficiaries.
The Executor of the Will is responsible for following all of the mandates specifically outlined in said Will as to the distribution of an estate.
But if a Last Will and Testament lacks clarity, the decision is not up to the Executor of the Will to interpret those unclear directives nor to make changes to the stated distribution.
A pro se litigant is responsible for his or her complete case.
The distribution of property pursuant to a Last Will and Testament is done through the probate process, by filing a probate action in the appropriate local probate court.
The probate court’s rules will dictate the means, method and duration of contacting potential beneficiaries.
Merging two Limited Liability Companies from different states (one newly formed, no less) is typically not something Standard Legal would recommend as to be handled pro se.
Whether or not foreigners or non-US citizen living in the USA and holding work-visas can create a Limited Liability Company or file for Corporation status depends upon the state involved.
A probate court action could be filed to compel the life estate holder to maintain the property and prevent spoilage.
But there is no guarantee the court would agree with the motion nor compel any action.
The terms contained within the Living Trust document should be reviewed carefully to ensure any asset sales processes outlined within are followed.
After that, the process for selling real estate from a Trust is fairly straight-forward.
As there are many different Deed structures, the original deed must be carefully examined to determine the authority available to transfer the property.
A Power of Attorney document is created and signed by a grantor to allow one person to conduct business on behalf of another.
Typically, a Power of Attorney document must specify the type(s) of business that can be conducted on behalf of the person granting the Power of Attorney (or grant permission for ‘all types of personal business’).
So intent matters.
