Re: Our responsibilities if parent signs over property
It doesn't sound like he really wants to transfer ownership to you at this time. It sounds like he really wants to retain ownership but have you maintain the property in the event he becomes ill. He may want to execute a Durable Power of Attorney or Springing Power of Attorney. He should consult an estate planning attorney in his area to make sure his objectives are properly achieved.
