Usually, it is not a good idea to put your house in joint tenancy with your children. First, if your child is sued, his/her creditor can collect any judgment the creditor has against your child from the equity in your house. Second, if your child wants to sell the house when you pass away, your child may have to pay unnecessary capital gains taxes if you gift your house to your child while you are alive.

This means that the parties own the property together, and at death the entire interest of the decedent automatically passes to the surviving joint tenant. If the decedent leaves a will conveying his interest to someone else, the will is ineffective. Joint tenancy property automatically passes to the survivor regardless of what the will says.

This is simply not a good way to plan an estate. One problem with putting your child's name on the title to your property as a joint tenant is that while it will avoid probate, creditors of the child will be able to reach the joint tenancy property. It may also create a taxable gift when none is expected, and may not be consistent with your ultimately desired distribution. Adding someone else's name to your account may also not be consistent with your ultimately desired distribution. See similar questions...

Every application requires inclusion of a tax identification number. The individual or business whose number is listed on the application is responsible for any tax liabilities generated from that account from dividends and redemptions.

When property is held in joint tenancy with rights of survivorship by two or more people, upon the death of one of the owners, all of his or her interest in the property is transferred immediately to the surviving owner.

Adverse death taxes and income taxes result unless (i) the couple's net worth is less than $1,500,000.00 and there is no likelihood it will ever exceed that amount; and (ii) none of the assets owned by the couple have materially increased in value since its' purchase; that is, joint tenancy ownership is the worst possible way of taking title if tax planning is a material element of the estate plan.

Many people have become aware of the problems associated with probate and assume they can totally avoid probate by retitling all their assets to read "joint tenancy with right of survivorship" (JTWROS). This can create many unintended and negative consequences. JTWROS is a form of ownership in which two or more people own 100 percent of the same asset. The right of survivorship feature of joint tenancy means that the last joint tenant to die owns the entire asset. See similar questions...

Yes, but this unfortunately has several problems associated with it. There is no guarantee that the surviving spouse will have time to set up a trust after the first spouse dies or will actually get around to setting up a trust, regardless of the amount of time available. This method also loses any Applicable Exclusion Amount tax advantage, because, like an outright gift, joint tenancy lumps all the assets in one spouse's estate. See similar questions...

We tell ghost stories, horror stories, and produce an intense role playing environment. Use your own discretion if you choose to allow your children to enter.
