    1) Expensive paperwork, 2) refinancing recommend taking out of trust then out back in, 3) no asset protection, 4) property tax reassessment? Hardly done anymore, 5) no estate tax benefit, 6) potential loss of homestead (nowadays not an issue…?), 7) amendments cause more documentation. Thanks. A few of these you point out are not an issue so they aren’t disadvantages. Another couple are true of non-trusts as well. So overall I only see #1, #2, and #7 costs to have attorney create addendum as disadvantages. However, avoiding probate makes creating one a good idea. The fees vary greatly on hiring trust attorney so shop around to get a good price with a good recommendation.

    If the lone reason for setting up a trust is to avoid probate on real property, another option is that many states will allow the establishing of a Transfer on Death (TOD) deed. You as the property owner will still retain full ownership and control of the property, but will have named beneficiaries to whom the property will pass upon your death. Your beneficiaries will receive the tax benefit of a stepped up cost basis when the property transfers. Much less complicated, and just as important, a lot less expensive than setting up a Trust.

Is it one in the same? You mentioned that is is not popular, but I think it is done in every county and state. Please explain.

    How about putting your property in LLC with your children’s name on the LLC

    • @TheK9Shepherd
      @TheK9Shepherd Місяць тому +8

      Not sure about LLC's but putting children's names on the deed of your home will remove their step up in basis. Which could be huge capital gains implications. Example. If you bought your home for $100k and it's now worth $700k If you put your children's name on the deed, then if they go to sell, they pay capital gains on $600k (because it's as if they purchased the home at $100k) When the home is passed to the children when you die, they get a step up in basis. On the date of your death, the house will be assessed at FMV (fair market value) Let's say it's $700k So if they go to sell the house, they pay capital gains on the difference between $700k and the sales price.
      I am not sure what putting it in an LLC would accomplish. (nor how that works) But if it's like putting their names on the deed, be mindful of them losing the step up in basis

    This is what everyone recommends but I see my friend whose mom and had a trust set up still going through lawyers, etc after 8 months, it still isnt settled. This is with no family disputes or anything. If we give our son our house now, the matter is settled. If we become incapacitated our house will not be lost to medical fees, which can definitely be done if the house is only in a trust.

    • @Dbb277-2
      @Dbb277-2 16 днів тому

      If you give your son your house now you are setting yourself up for some possible tax issues. You need to speak to a CPA before you do this. You can do a revocable life estate or a transfer on death deed. Most States allow these deeds. You pass, your son takes the death certificate in to the county clerk or appraiser where you live and the deed is transferred to him without going through the courts. If you give it to him now his basis is what you paid for it when you bought it. So when he sells he is taxed on the profits less what you paid. If he lives in it for two of the prior three years he can have some homestead protection.

    NEVER have a Living trust if there is any chance you go bankrupt due to health issues. NH law is so vague, unless the term revokable is on your title and deed, they will cancel your homestead rights. We lost our home as trustee sold it. 😢 Nh says a living trust is not always a revokable trust in NH. I does hurt your homestead!!!! TITLE XLIX 480:9, HOMESTEADS, CHAPTER 480:9, THE HOMESTEAD RIGHT

  • @Galileo63
    @Galileo63 Місяць тому +2

    Question: if a primary residence, rentals/investment properties, that were in husband's name only, get placed into a living trust whose beneficiaries are a child and the wife who was never on the deeds and never a co-owner or any property, would that kick in the stepped up cost basis upon the husband passing away and avoid capital gains tax beyond the no tax on the first $500K of capital gains per couple? Would that not be be even better than the 50% step up in case both husband and wife were on the deeds? Is that not a significant advantage of a living trust?

    • @TheK9Shepherd
      @TheK9Shepherd Місяць тому

      If the husband's name is the only one on the deed, when the house is passed down to the wife then she will get the step up in basis (that's one of the huge benefits of passing down real estate upon death). To get the $250k real estate exemption (for capital gains) when you sell, I believe you have to live in the house for 1 year. Even if you lived there for x number of years while the husband was alive. I say this because my wife and I live with her mother (mother is only named on the deed) When the mother dies and passes the house down to my wife, even though we've lived in the house for 10 years, we don't get the $500k real estate exemption (capital gains exemption) until we've lived there for 1 year after death. I "think" that's the case but double check with a tax advisor.
