Buying a house with in-laws, deed question

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You should definitely speak to someone about this transaction.  By putting the house in your name, you might be able to do some Medicaid planning, provided that your in-laws live in the house with you for at least two years prior to them needing Medicaid.  there is a section of the federal law that would allow for the house to be exempted, but it is a bit too complicated to explain here.  If you are in monmouth or Ocean counties, call my office.  Thoerwise,  look for someone who is a Certified Elder Law Attorney (CELA) who can explain the real estate, taxation, and Medicaid sides to this transaction.

She should hire a NJ estate lawyer. No, she should not be liable unless she co-signed. An estate may need to be opened. If there are insufficient assets of the husband to pay the debts, the court will discharge the claims.

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.
