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

My mother owns a home which in the will states all assests divided equally between brother and myself 50/50 when she passes on. I live with her

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
I'm not sure if you are asking if you have to pay all of the taxes when your mom dies, or now.  When your mom dies the Estate will be responsible for paying taxes on the house until it is transferred into you name and your brother's name.  The Estate will consist of all of your mother's assets, other than the house, and the money that is in the estate will be used to pay all of her last bills, and costs associated with administration, etc.  One thing you should keep in mind, if you live with your mother, and she ever needs to go into a nursing home, the house is an exempt asset and can be transferred directly to you.

My significant other of 10 years wants to leave me his home for $80,000 if he should pass away before me .How can we do this leagally?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You should see a lawyer to get a will drawn up.  He could make it so that the children get $80,000 and you get the house, or life rights to the house which ever he prefers.  The $80,000 could be a separate bequest, but you have to be careful about making you obligated to pay the children.
