Inheritance and estate taxes

Answered by attorney Mitchell Allan Port
Estate Planning lawyer at Mitchell A. Port
Nope, California does not have an inheritance tax.  The federal government has one that is assessed against estates valued over $5.34 million for a single person and double that amount for a married couple.

Obtain for yourself a trust/probate litigation lawyer, now. The time for filing a suit may have lapsed, but go find out.

Can you set up a trust for a shared deed if the other one is incarcerated?

Answered by attorney James E. Reed
Estate Planning lawyer at Vandervoort, Christ & Fisher, P.C.
You cannot sell the house without your brother signing something either (1) a Deed to a Trust you create for him, (2) a Deed conveying his interest to you, (3) a Power of Attorney whereby he gives you authority to sign Deed on his behalf. No matter what you do, the State will likely take his share of the sale proceeds to pay for his room & board while in prison.
