If I give my parents a million dollars will I have to pay taxes on it?

Answered by attorney Don L Rosenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Barron, Rosenberg, Mayoras & Mayoras, P.C.
If you use your lifetime gift exemption then no you will not have to pay estate/gift taxes. However, there is a clear advantage of making the gift in 2012 as the exemption is currently 5.12 million and next year it may return to 1 million only. Would welcome the opportunity to counsel you.

Who gets my brother's 401k without a Beneficiary?

Laura J Gabel
Answered by attorney Laura J Gabel (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Gabel, Gudmundsen & Gabel, P.C.
If this beneficiary was removed, the 401k company shouldn't have released the funds to that person. Are you sure about your information? If there is proof that the beneficiary had been removed, then you should open a probate estate and contest the pay-out. Of course, all of this costs money, so consider how much money is involved and decide whether it is worth contesting.

What are my rights to a house co-owned?

Answered by attorney Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
Good for you for insisting that both of your names go on the deed. I'll bet he wanted to put it in his name only. Based on what you have written, I don't see any reason why you should not get 50% (after taxes, broker fees, and legal fees). You could hire a lawyer, who could help to ensure that you get paid. The main thing is to insist that you get paid directly from the seller or escrow agent, not through your ex-boyfriend. Also, be aware that you could be charging him rent for living in the house.
