Legal question [View all]

My husband was in the will of his best friend. They've both passed, yet the trust keeps pumping out residuals. I need to sign a new legal document. I'm not actually named in the will, now called a trust. Question: Do I sign my name as the wife, or sign my hubby's name as I had power of attorney?

Thanks.
