Is swap of houses with a selling price of $1.00 legal?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
It is highly unlikely there is recourse. It is likely that this was done as a way of avoiding transfer tax, which is about $7 per thousand of sales price. If they had treated this as a sale for full value, then each party would have had to pay hundreds, if not more than a thousand dollars in tax. When you are talking about a house, a difference in appraised value of $5,000 is not really that much. The argument could be made that your brother got the better of the deal because the property taxes will be lower on his property than the one he got rid of. I think your brother is stuck with this deal. I am sorry I could not give you better news.

If a serial killer happens to be wealthy, what happens to their money if they are put to death?

Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
Interesting problem. It might have something to do with whether or not the wealth they have accumulated is related to killing. If the money was "blood money" that might be taken by the state. If it was wealth that was legally accumulated and had nothing to do with crime then it would be subject to the normal probate procedure (unless it was in a trust prior to death), be subject to federal estate tax and then be distributred pursuant to the terms of the will or trust.
