How do I void a life estate in NJ? And who receives the proceeds when the home is sold, given that all parties are agreeable to sell?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You seem to have a good handle on what needs to be done - your instincts are correct.  If your uncle is unable to afford care, then yes, you can remove him from the home, and his absence from the home with extinguish the life estate.  he can also voluntarily give it up, or you can do that for him using the POA.  The sale of the property will be a bit more complicated than a normal sale because of POA and the life estate, but not anything that could not be handled by a competent attorney.  Where are you located?  I would be happy to help you with the sale.  You will also need a Medicaid consultation in that the monies you get from the sale may not have to be used for your uncle's care, depending on how you inherited the remainder of the property.  Feel free to call my office.  Good luck !

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?

Diana L. Anderson
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.

She should hire a NJ estate lawyer. No, she should not be liable unless she co-signed. An estate may need to be opened. If there are insufficient assets of the husband to pay the debts, the court will discharge the claims.
