Can my 83 yr old transfer her assets to her children money and home to reduce the tax liability

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
It is not possible to answer this based on the information given.  If you are trying to avoid estate taxes, the money will be drawn back into the estate, if the person dies within 3 years o the gift.  In order to avoid the taxes, the person must give up all indicia of ownership of the asset.  I prefer to let elderly people keep their assets to pay for their own care instead of worrying about taxes.  estate taxes will nt be inucrred unless the estate is over $675,000

Can my brother sell my deceased mothers car?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
It does not make him the sole heir of the vehicle.  He is entitled to be reimbursed for the payments that he made, but the remaining equity in the vehicle is an estate asset.  IF the car is sold, he should pay himself back what he paid, and then divide the remaining balance.

Estate--is husband or daughter more entitled?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If the house was left to you ion the will, then you are entitled to the house.  However, you cannot disinherit your spouse.  A married person is entitled to claim an elective, or statutory, share of an estate. The share the surviving spouse can claim is about 1/3.  So, if your mother died leaving you the house, but nothing to her spouse, then her spouse can claim a portion of the estate but not the whole house.  The elective share is something that has to be affirmatively asserted in court, it is not automatic, and if the surviving spouse does not claim it, it is waived.
