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.

Is it necessary to have estate waivers prior to transferring over monthly income/wages from business partnership?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
you do not have to wait for the waivers, but before you pay out anything from the estate, get each recipient to sign a release that they have been paid.  The release can be found on the State Judiciary website.  this is proof that you have done your job as the person in chrage of the estate.

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

Diana L. Anderson
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.
