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

What is the best way for a parent to leave assets to children without causing excessive tax due

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
There is no single "best" way.  A solution fo ryou would involve looking at all of your assets, long term care insuance, your family history and many other factors.  As a Certified Elder Law Attorney my goal is to make sure you have sufficient assets under your own control to pay for the care you need. Long term care doesn't "take" your assets - you have to pay for the care that you receive, and if your assets run out and you still need care, then the care wil be provided by Medicaid.  We can minimize taxation and/or take maximum advantage of tax credits by using credit shelter wills, and various types of trusts.

Do I have to give money from the estate away?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Legally, if he put you as "payable on death" beneficiary then the money is yours. If you give the nephews anything, it will be gifts subject to the usual rules on gifts.
