Estate--is husband or daughter more entitled?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If the house was left to you ion the will, then you are entitled to the house.  However, you cannot disinherit your spouse.  A married person is entitled to claim an elective, or statutory, share of an estate. The share the surviving spouse can claim is about 1/3.  So, if your mother died leaving you the house, but nothing to her spouse, then her spouse can claim a portion of the estate but not the whole house.  The elective share is something that has to be affirmatively asserted in court, it is not automatic, and if the surviving spouse does not claim it, it is waived.

Can my 83 yr old transfer her assets to her children money and home to reduce the tax liability

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
It is not possible to answer this based on the information given.  If you are trying to avoid estate taxes, the money will be drawn back into the estate, if the person dies within 3 years o the gift.  In order to avoid the taxes, the person must give up all indicia of ownership of the asset.  I prefer to let elderly people keep their assets to pay for their own care instead of worrying about taxes.  estate taxes will nt be inucrred unless the estate is over $675,000

Do you know the new guidlines for the Qualified Person Residence trust as of Jan1 2012?Where do I find them?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson

you will not loose it to inheritance tax !  There is no inheritance between a parent to a child.  You may have to pay estate tax if the total amount of your parents estate is over $675,000.  there is a very easy way to double that, to protect $1,350,000.  You should explore various options, a trust for the house, taking advantage of all tax credits, and possibly gifting.  You can call my office for a free consultation.
