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.

Revocable trust

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If the trustee of the trust is also the grantor, a revocable trust usually indicates that upon the death of the grantor/trustee, the assets held in the trust are distributed.  The grantor/trustee could direct that the assets are distributed to the estate, or to beneficiaries, or can remain in trust with the second trust taking over.  What happens is all dependent on the terms of the trust.

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.
