Who owns a property inherited by siblings paying taxes?
My son has been paying taxes for over ten years on a property that he and his brothers inherited from their father. Who is the rightful owner of the property?
What can I do about my sister wanting rent for our inherited property?
My mother passed away, my sister and I were co-executors. As per the letter of testamentary the property was put in both of our names. I currently live on the property, pay all utilities, taxes, house insurance, lawn maint. etc... She has paid nothing to do with the house or property, but she wants rent without any responsibilities to house or property. What can I do? pay rent or?2nd question- I got the property appraised and she will not recognize the appraisal because it is so low compared to the tax appraisal, she wants me to pay her off using the tax appraisal not from the residential appraisal report from a company I hired. Please help!
Will my son avoid probate and get a stepped-up basis with an enhanced life estate deed?
If I leave my house to my son using a Enhanced Life Estate Grant Deed will he avoid Probate and receive the house at a stepped up basis ?
Is an enhanced life estate deed suitable for transferring my condo to my wife?
I am married, however, I own a condo individually which is unencumbered (free and clear). I have a Warranty Deed and title insurance on the property. I would like the condo to pass to her upon my death to avoid the hassle and expense of Probate. My wife and I jointly own our home which is also free and clear therefore, the condo is not my legal Homestead. I would like the option to sell the condo at some point if I decide to. Is an Enhanced Life Estate Deed the best option to accomplish this? I have heard that this deed is available in Florida and offers greatly enhanced benefits over a regular Life Estate deed. What will happen if she passes away before me? If this deed is appropriate for my situation, can I just buy the form that has language specific to Florida law and have it recorded myself? I've seen the form and it looks simple enough to fill in the blanks.
