When are gift/estate taxes paid on a property the was given using a life estate deed?

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
This is a complex question that cannot be answered here.  There are many issues at play.  You have estate tax on the entire estate, and possibly some kind of transfer tax.  The disposition of this property has to be done as part of an over all estate plan, not just piecemeal for one property.

RE: NJ Law when heir inherits a home with a 2nd mortgage.

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
The answers to this question depend on the mortgage, and the terms of the will.  The will may stipulate that the heirs take the property subject to the mortgage.  If that's the case, the heirs can take over the mortgage payments, but technically, the heirs should have the mortgage redone in their name.  Changing the title to the property could cause an acceleration of the mortgage and require immediate payment.  A bigger question becomes, what happened to the proceeds of the second mortgage?  Did the decedent take that in a lump payment and it went to other heirs?   Can the first and second mortgages be combined and refinanced?  Rates are good now and it might be worth your while to qualify and re-do the whole thing.
