<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">I am handling a probate for an estate here in WA. The deceased had previously created a Special Needs Trust for her adult son in AK and had transferred the home that her son was living in, in Juneau, into the SNT.
The Will which I am helping probate says that if this property happens to be part of the estate at the time of distributions, it should be transferred to the SNT.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;word-wrap: break-word"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;word-wrap: break-word">Here's the cool part: The Trustee of the SNT was/is deceased's other son. That son did not want to deal with a funded trust (whereby the Trust would need to pay property taxes) so the Trustee/son
transferred the property back out to mom's name again (who was alive then, but now deceased). Mom did not sign this new deed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;word-wrap: break-word"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;word-wrap: break-word">If the property were already in the SNT, then we do not need to do a new probate in Juneau. Is there anyway to revoke a Deed? Or can someone not accept the transfer thereby nullifying it (I believe
the mother was unaware the Deed had been transferred back)? I realize I would need an AK attorney to do this, but I just have no idea what I am even looking for. We can do an ancilliary probate, but everyone would like to avoid that, obviously.<o:p></o:p></p>
