How do we legally leave our lake home to our seven grandchildren?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
If your seven grandchildren are over the age of 18, all you need to do is write a simple will leaving the lake house to each of them by name in equal shares. If they are minors, and you expect that may not all be of legal age to take possession of property, you can leave the lake house in your will to their parents for the use and benefit of your grandchildren. Both you and your spouse should make sure you have wills in place and consult a local estate planning attorney to draft these documents for you so that your family will have no complications wrapping up your affairs.

Which is better to do, a living trust or a last will?

Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
Living trusts can be expensive and time consuming to create and are usually reserved for larger estate ($1 million or more). Wills are much easier to create and can be changed at any time. A simple will would allow you to leave the home to her. Be aware that because you aren't married, there may be tax consequences to consider with either choice. You both should also have living wills, power of attorney for health care, and power of attorney for financial matters that permit the other person to act on your behalf in emergency situations.
