❌ DO NOT Gift Your House To Your Children! ❌

Gifting houses to children can lead to unintended consequences such as loss of control over the property, potential tax liabilities for both parties, and exposure of the property to the children's creditors or legal claims like divorce settlements. Instead, consider alternatives like setting up a trust, using a life estate deed, or consulting with an estate planning attorney to protect your interests, minimize taxes, and ensure your wishes are carried out effectively while maintaining control over your assets during your lifetime.

Where I live we do not have to pay taxes on inheritance, but it is not the case in most places, so advices given here are very valid. Just make sure to consult local laws.

Great point! Always be sure to consult a local attorney / accountant when dealing with legal / tax issues and concerns.

People may want to put their children on title in order to avoid being victimized by predators transferring title as they age and lose competence. But they often are not aware of tax consequences.

That is a valid concern, but a Trust would take care of that issue as the property will pass to the beneficiaries as outlined in the Trust document.
