Do I have legal rights to my boyfriend's (of 55 years) house?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Your situation is complicated and you need an attorney to review the documents. If you are on the deed however, you should have some right depending on how title is held.

If I sell my home to my mother and she passes before contract is fulfilled do I retain ownership of the home?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jeffrey Scott Strickland (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Strickland Law, PLLC
If you sell the home to her, the home would be part of her estate. It would pass under her will or according to intestate succession. Before you do anything, you likely need to speak with counsel to share your reasons for doing what you are trying to accomplish and learn of various strategies. Never make a major decision without due diligence.

Can I transfer the property I received as a beneficiary of a trust directly to my own trust in California?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Yes, you can take the property directly into your own trust. If you inherited the property already, or about to, be sure you obtain an appraisal at the actual time of inheritance prior to transfer into trust so you will know what the basis is going into the trust and can file the notice of no change in value at the time of transfer into your trust. You can also take title at the time of inheritance from the estate by grant deed and then transfer into the trust. I would suggest you consult a CPA/Tax lawyer re the tax consequence of receipt either way.
