Do I have to give money from the estate away?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Legally, if he put you as "payable on death" beneficiary then the money is yours. If you give the nephews anything, it will be gifts subject to the usual rules on gifts.

Can a blind trust be formed to claim the lottery prize in New Jersey? Is it permitted by the New Jersey law? Thank you

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
Yes - a trust can be formed.  You can allow the trust to accept the prize and do not have to have your name announced.  People often do that because if you win the lottery, you will be inundated with requests for money.  Keep in mind you will have a time deadline to accept your lottery prize.

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.
