- Q. I would like to add a name to a deed. How can this be done with a POA
- A: I'm a Missouri Attorney and I would be happy to chat with the owner of the property. If they are requesting an additional name to be added to a deed that is something that can be done through a quit claim deed or other instrument. It depends on the type of property and the owner's intentions for how/when interest may be transferred.
- Q. How to legally adopt a stepchild in the state of Missouri??
- A: You will need to contact an attorney that handles step-parent adoptions. You will have to file a petition in the county where you live, a guardian ad litem may be appointed and a home study may be necessary in order for the Court to grant your petition for step-parent adoption. You and your son's father will need to have been married for six months or more. Adoptions are a complicated area of law. Best to reach out to an attorney for a consultation to speak about the specifics of your case in the county where you reside.
- Q. How can I prove I was the beneficiary?
- A: You should open a probate estate in the county where your loved one died. If a will exists, you can file that will with the Court to inform how the estate should be distributed. Without more information I am unable to give any more specific advice. What account? Who is the deceased?
