This may have been posted previously but I don't have time to search. Son is POA on checking account and trustee on Trust. Checking account is not under trust name. Mom dies and son comes in and transfers money to trust account. Is this okay?

His POA rights expired upon the death of the mother.

That I understand. As Trustee to the trust does he have the right to move that money over to the trust account? Thanks for you response.

He still does not have the authority to access Mom's "non-trust" account.

He needs to be appointed a personal rep to "take over" mom's non-trust accounts. Depending on mom's will, you may or may not need court approval.

To summarize the above: No, it's not okay.

As trustee, he only has dominion over what was transferred to the trust prior to death. His POA became void with his mother's death. The funds still held in his mother's name at the time of death were subject to the probate process and the control of a court appointed personal representative.

He needs to put the money back...
