If the house of a decedent is foreclosed upon by the bank, are the heirs responsible for any taxes or bills?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
You have not stated whether your father's estate has been presented for probate.  The appointment of an executor or administrator delays foreclosure for six months.  If the lender then forecloses, it takes the property with all debts associated with it.

Can a child avoid estate and inheritance taxes in the state of New Jersey by becoming a co-owner of a house while the parent is still alive?

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
First you have to look at the total value of the estate.  Estate tax is imposed on estates with a total value over $675,000.  You look at all of the assets in the estate and then deduct certain costs and expenses like funeral costs, attorney's fees, etc.  If the total amount remaining after the deductions is over $675,000 then you will pay tax.  If you become a joint owner of the house, then when you sell it you will pay capital gains tax on the difference between the sales price and the price your mother bought the house for in the 1980.  Balancing those two taxes out, I would say leave the house in mom's name and pay the estate tax - its less than you will pay in capital gains.  You will not pay inheritance taxes because you are Class A beneficiaries as children of the decedent.
