Funding trust notarization

Answered 2 years and 2 months ago by attorney John D. Sorlie   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Trusts
John D. Sorlie
Generally when funding your revocable trust only you and the current trustee of the trust- which is likely you - would need to sign anything. So, it shouldn't be necessary to get the signature of successor trustees. But, if for some reason a financial institution requires a successor trustee's notarized signature, the successor trustee can have his or her signature notarized in the state in which he or she resides. It does not need to be an Oregon notary.  John SorlieBryant, Lovlien & Jarvis, PCBend, Oregon... Read Answer

what should I expect to pay to set up a living trust

Answered 4 years and 11 months ago by attorney John D. Sorlie   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Trusts

Generally, no, that isn't legal. If there are probate assets remaining after payment of all estate bills and debts, those assets should be divided according to the Will. However, there are some details regarding your mother's estate that may change what you are entitled to (ie: non-probate assets). I would advise you speak with a probate attorney as soon as possible.... Read Answer
