If the lone reason for setting up a trust is to avoid probate on real property, another option is that many states will allow the establishing of a Transfer on Death (TOD) deed. You as the property owner will still retain full ownership and control of the property, but will have named beneficiaries to whom the property will pass upon your death. Your beneficiaries will receive the tax benefit of a stepped up cost basis when the property transfers. Much less complicated, and just as important, a lot less expensive than setting up a Trust.
There is this neat website called 'Google.' And according to this website... "An Estate Planning Attorney typically prepares a living trust after reviewing the grantor's assets and goals. The grantor, also known as the trustor or settler, is the person who creates the trust."

Not sure about LLC's but putting children's names on the deed of your home will remove their step up in basis. Which could be huge capital gains implications. Example. If you bought your home for $100k and it's now worth $700k If you put your children's name on the deed, then if they go to sell, they pay capital gains on $600k (because it's as if they purchased the home at $100k) When the home is passed to the children when you die, they get a step up in basis. On the date of your death, the house will be assessed at FMV (fair market value) Let's say it's $700k So if they go to sell the house, they pay capital gains on the difference between $700k and the sales price. I am not sure what putting it in an LLC would accomplish. (nor how that works) But if it's like putting their names on the deed, be mindful of them losing the step up in basis
@@TheK9ShepherdThank you I tried explaining this to many of my friends wanting to do that, and have done that! And not knowing all that details, because many will not investigate nothing, nor ask QUESTIONS! They just add those kids names on deeds, not even realizing those property taxes as well, once they're gone. So again THANK YOUUUU!
Question: if a primary residence, rentals/investment properties, that were in husband's name only, get placed into a living trust whose beneficiaries are a child and the wife who was never on the deeds and never a co-owner or any property, would that kick in the stepped up cost basis upon the husband passing away and avoid capital gains tax beyond the no tax on the first $500K of capital gains per couple? Would that not be be even better than the 50% step up in case both husband and wife were on the deeds? Is that not a significant advantage of a living trust?
If the husband's name is the only one on the deed, when the house is passed down to the wife then she will get the step up in basis (that's one of the huge benefits of passing down real estate upon death). To get the $250k real estate exemption (for capital gains) when you sell, I believe you have to live in the house for 1 year. Even if you lived there for x number of years while the husband was alive. I say this because my wife and I live with her mother (mother is only named on the deed) When the mother dies and passes the house down to my wife, even though we've lived in the house for 10 years, we don't get the $500k real estate exemption (capital gains exemption) until we've lived there for 1 year after death. I "think" that's the case but double check with a tax advisor.
This is what everyone recommends but I see my friend whose mom and had a trust set up still going through lawyers, etc after 8 months, it still isnt settled. This is with no family disputes or anything. If we give our son our house now, the matter is settled. If we become incapacitated our house will not be lost to medical fees, which can definitely be done if the house is only in a trust.
If you give your son your house now you are setting yourself up for some possible tax issues. You need to speak to a CPA before you do this. You can do a revocable life estate or a transfer on death deed. Most States allow these deeds. You pass, your son takes the death certificate in to the county clerk or appraiser where you live and the deed is transferred to him without going through the courts. If you give it to him now his basis is what you paid for it when you bought it. So when he sells he is taxed on the profits less what you paid. If he lives in it for two of the prior three years he can have some homestead protection.
Can I put my home into a irrevocable trust when the mortgage is in my deceased husbands name? I am on title/deed but not on mortgage. How expensive is the legal fees to do this?
My relative had property and a trust. They did not go down to the title company and put the property in a trust. They died, and now I need to have a Heggstad Petition drafted. Do you draft those types of documents? (California)
NEVER have a Living trust if there is any chance you go bankrupt due to health issues. NH law is so vague, unless the term revokable is on your title and deed, they will cancel your homestead rights. We lost our home as trustee sold it. 😢 Nh says a living trust is not always a revokable trust in NH. I does hurt your homestead!!!! TITLE XLIX 480:9, HOMESTEADS, CHAPTER 480:9, THE HOMESTEAD RIGHT
@@ricric8348 If you think his title is stupid, just say that, instead of beating around the bush and pretending to be confused. I know what you meant. And you know what he meant. So I guess you're just tryna be cheeky. :p Cheers!
For property taxes in CA yes, the house WILL be reassessed (prop 19) This is different from the FMV assessment for step up in basis. Now, the two might end up being the same amount.
Not a good idea for a number of reasons. The most important thing is that you will lose control over your property. If your state allows it, you will be better off establishing a TOD deed for the property.

I have transfer on death deed on my properties.
It is great to have someone sharing his knowledge about living trust. I am learning.
FYI this is just the first step in a complete administration.
A gold mine of knowledge in this video. Short and to the point. Thanks!
This is so helpful. Is there a video like this for land trusts?
Job well done, "Thank you"
Thank you, very informative. Recently moved to Las Vegas and would like to get our living trust reviewed.

So if I do a land and living trust plus if needed to restate/amend trust, is it better to use online notary or a physical notary (in person)?

Another lawyer here on youtube states that you can create your own Living Trust WITHOUT going through an attorney. Is this a lie?

Can't I just put the house in the kids name now to avoid all this.

there is NO TAX RETURN while you are alive??
This is too much details I Like to no everyone have house go same way
