<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can co-attorneys-in-fact under a Durable Power of Attorney do a transfer on death deed on behalf of their 100-year-old mother who has just moved into assisted living to avoid probate? I did the Will and Durable POA in 2018, and she wants
her estate divided equally to all 4 surviving children. They told my receptionist they want to set up a trust to avoid probate
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😊</span> and I wanted to make sure TOD deed is a possibility before I meet with them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wonder if attached the Durable POA to the recording will be sufficient?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please advise.<o:p></o:p></p>
