I own my home in Bergen County New Jersey. Can I pass ownership to my wife after I die using my deed? How is this done and does it avoid probate?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You can pass the title to your wife after you die if you both own the property as joint tenants with rights of survivorship.  It abbreviated JTWROS.  If a husband and wife own the property as JTWROS its as if together they own 100% of the property and if one dies, the survivor still owns 100%.  The property passes regardless of what the will says, and passes without probate.

Can i exclude my future husband from my will as I own my house in NJ and it is in my name only and my 2 children from my previous husband. I want to l

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You can exclude your future husband from your estate by doing a combination of a prenuptial agreement and a marital share waiver.  In the State of New Jersey you cannot disinherit your spouse, so if you just leave him out the will, he can claim his marital share which is one third of the augmented estate.  He cannot make that claim, however, if he has signed a waiver of that share. You can also use a prenuptial to agree that neither of you will take from the other's estate.  What you will need is his agreement or consent, and you will need to have that in writing to protect your children in the future.

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.
