How can I give custody of my house to my kids?

Brian Chew
Answered by attorney Brian Chew
Estate Planning lawyer at OC Wills and Trust Attorneys
Rather than give your home to your kids, you may want to consider having an irrevocable trust drafted on your behalf and place your home into the trust. Your children can be made to be the trustees of the trust. While they will be in charge of the house, you may retain certain right to the home. Also, if the receive the house after you pass from the trust, they will likely not have to pay any taxes when they sell the house. However if you give them the house, they ma have to pay a capital gains tax on any profit made from the sale of the house. The profit from the sale will be determined by home much the home sold for less how much you paid for it when you originally bought it. Talk to a qualified attorney on how an irrevocable trust can help your situation.

How should I set up the money from my childs settlement?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Eugene Ray Critchett (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at E. Ray Critchett, LLC
Generally, minor settlements in Ohio have to be approved by the Probate Court. Many Courts will require any significant money be placed into either a structured settlement and/or a custodial account fro your child. This will protect the money for him/her. A custodial account may also allow access to some of the funds for certain Court approved purchases, such as necessary school supplies.

Is there anything I can do if my father left his girlfriend as sole benficiary?

Lorenzo L. Angelino
Answered by attorney Lorenzo L. Angelino
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Lorenzo L. Angelino
There is no way for your father to have left his girlfriend as sole beneficiary of his entire estate without a Will other than joint bank accounts, and joint tenancies with rights of survivorship on his real property.
