[NY] Where do I find the parcel number for a transfer on death deed? Should I list two primary beneficiaries?

I have two questions. In Brooklyn, New York, is the assessor's parcel number just the lot and block numbers? If I want my transfer on death deed to go to both my wife and daughter, should I list them both in the primary beneficiaries section or should my wife be the primary and my daughter the alternate? What are the pros and cons of putting them both as primary?

Can a POA agent name self as grantor, trustee, and beneficiary?

I wanted to make sure that this trust is the least restrictive trust I can create. I am writing for my daughter to be the trustee and beneficiary. Can someone with a Durable Power of Attorney set up a trust with themselves as Grantor, Trustee, and Beneficiary? Is that legal?

[MO] Can a person with Alzheimer’s sign over POA?

My mom has Alzheimer's. My father was her proxy, but he passed suddenly in January. Now my brother has her medical proxy, which became effective after Dad's death. Mom and Dad have a trust set up, which puts her in charge, but she can’t handle banking, retirement, or other personal affairs anymore. We attempted to have her sign a POA, but when the notary asked if she knew why she was there, she said no, so the notary couldn’t proceed. What are our options?
