A relative passed away in nj with will the attorney settling estate wants to go to the house. Is this necessary?

If everyone is a class C beneficiary, then everyone will pay taxes.  The only reason the attorney will have to go into the house is to prepare and inventory and /or an appraisal of the contents of the house for taxation purposes.

How do I void a life estate in NJ? And who receives the proceeds when the home is sold, given that all parties are agreeable to sell?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You seem to have a good handle on what needs to be done - your instincts are correct.  If your uncle is unable to afford care, then yes, you can remove him from the home, and his absence from the home with extinguish the life estate.  he can also voluntarily give it up, or you can do that for him using the POA.  The sale of the property will be a bit more complicated than a normal sale because of POA and the life estate, but not anything that could not be handled by a competent attorney.  Where are you located?  I would be happy to help you with the sale.  You will also need a Medicaid consultation in that the monies you get from the sale may not have to be used for your uncle's care, depending on how you inherited the remainder of the property.  Feel free to call my office.  Good luck !

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
