A relative passed away in nj with will the attorney settling estate wants to go to the house. Is this necessary?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If everyone is a class C beneficiary, then everyone will pay taxes.  The only reason the attorney will have to go into the house is to prepare and inventory and /or an appraisal of the contents of the house for taxation purposes.

I'm 78 and my wife is 75, is it time ti transfer ownership of my house to my (3) children?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
I'm not sure there is ever a "right" time.  There are many things to consider in transferring the house, not the least of which is the potential of some liability of your three children attaching to, or becoming a lien against your house.  There is also the loss of the step up in basis of the value of your house.  In other words, there are complex pros and cons that should be considered, not just the timing.  If you would like to discuss this further, please call my office.

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
