Keep Your Property in the Family and Avoid Probate!
File a Remainderman Deed!
Parents and Grown Children. When parents file a remainderman deed, the house belongs
to the children, and the parents (the life tenants) live in the house until they move or pass away. When the parents move or pass away, the children will avoid probate and/or tax consequences because the children already own the house.
Second Marriage. When a re-married father files a remainderman deed, the house belongs to the father's children and the father and second wife (the life tenants) live in the house until they move or pass away. When they move or pass, the house stays in the family and avoids probate and/or tax consequences. (This virtually eliminates the claim to the property by the second wife's family.)
A life tenant will continue to enjoy enhanced NYS Star.
