It\u2019s a good problem to have. But if you\u2019re in this situation, you\u2019ll need to develop a strategy to pass your valuable assets after your passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll want to know the basics about deeds, wills, and trusts. Tax implications? Yes, those too. You\u2019ll want to consider how simple or complex your estate plan is structured. How will this affect those who inherit your assets?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Begin: Inventory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">List your assets, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your homes, by location, value, and current loans and liens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your accounts and investments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your personal valuables.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first order of business is to go down the list, and decide who will receive which property. Once you\u2019re clear on how you want your assets to be distributed after your lifetime, you\u2019re ready to review the legal vehicles that support your goals and wishes. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-accent-5-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\"><strong><em>Say my home goes through probate.

Imagine that your deeds <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/hows-your-property-vested-it-matters-as-much-as-your-will-or-trust\/\">name a co-owner<\/a> with rights of survivorship, for example. Upon your death, the property bypasses probate and goes to your surviving joint owner(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this is the case, then don\u2019t leave the homes to someone else in your will. Where a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/what-happens-when-wills-and-deeds-conflict\/\">will conflicts with a deed<\/a>, your deed controls. So, check the deeds to your homes. Be sure they reflect your intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-accent-5-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\"><em><strong>There are multiple ways to keep homes out of a costly and public probate process. Some states have legalized the <\/strong><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/transfer-on-death-deed\/\"><strong><em>transfer on death (TOD) deed<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em><strong> for real estate. It\u2019s a relatively simple way to choose a beneficiary, bypassing probate.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you haven\u2019t done so yet, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/dont-be-the-intestate-homeowner-write-your-will\/\">make a will<\/a>. Refer to your inventory \u2014 which you can keep together with your will. Leave clear, detailed directions on how you want the homes and other assets distributed. Name your executor \u2014 the representative who will manage this task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before signing your will with the notary and witnesses as your state law may direct, ask your attorney or tax pro for guidance in planning for possible estate or inheritance taxes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Domicile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your domicile is your state of primary residence. That\u2019s where you vote and pay your taxes and where your estate will go through probate \u2014 and possibly owe that state\u2019s estate tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you hold more than one deed, it\u2019s helpful to declare that you are domiciled in a particular state in your will and\/or trust paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The state you mainly live in isn\u2019t the only state whose laws affect you. For each home, laws of the state <em>where the home exists<\/em> are controlling<em>.&nbsp; <\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine you are domiciled in Ohio, and own another home out of state. Now, say you deed your out-of-state home to your LLC based in Ohio, your domicile. If the other state considers your LLC an Ohio asset, it won\u2019t require you to pay estate taxes in your second home\u2019s state. But how this plays out is up to state laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-accent-5-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\"><em><strong>Selling or gifting property may avoid estate tax in another state, but be careful to safeguard <\/strong><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/medicare-and-medicaid-can-they-take-your-home\/\"><strong><em>your long-term healthcare planning<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em><strong>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consolidating Homes Into Trusts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trusts can make sense for individual homes, but they can make even more sense for multiple homes. Consider the homeowner who has a second home out of state. That second home will be subject to the probate court in the county and state where that property exists. How inconvenient for your personal representative, right? But it can be averted with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/is-it-time-to-place-your-home-in-a-living-trust\/\">revocable living trust<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quitclaiming the homes into a revocable living trust lets you keep control over the properties in your lifetime. You can change your mind about the trust and revoke it. After your death, the homes will go to the beneficiaries you\u2019ve named in the trust. Probate won\u2019t be needed for the assets in the trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some deed holders might instead form a business entity, such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/thinking-of-forming-an-llc-for-real-estate\/\">limited liability company (LLC)<\/a>. Less commonly, people use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/should-a-house-be-in-an-irrevocable-trust\/\">irrevocable trusts<\/a>. These trusts make sense in certain circumstances for asset protection, or to prepare for a beneficiary\u2019s special needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-accent-5-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\"><em><strong>Deeds.com offers financial power of attorney forms; <\/strong><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/\"><strong><em>select your state<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em><strong> to find your county. With these forms, deed holders can designate a person to make financial decisions for you if you become unable to do so.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before You Go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check your estate plan every few years or after shifts in your health, your family and social ties, or your financial situation. At the same time, think about how people will respond to your wishes. Talk to those close to you about what you\u2019re deciding to do. Communicate today. Avoid confusion after you\u2019re no longer around to clarify. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working with a wills, estates, and trust lawyer to make sure your wishes are clearly expressed, and correctly stated under the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-accent-5-background-color has-background has-small-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Supporting References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>More on topics: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/elder\/\">Elder real estate<\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/what-todays-senior-home-buyers-should-know\/\">Senior home buyers<\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/is-it-time-to-place-your-home-in-a-living-trust\/\">Revocable trusts<\/a><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/man-in-red-polo-shirt-sitting-beside-woman-in-white-blazer-6148985\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RDNE Stock Project<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/nature-beach-love-people-8174441\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">both<\/a> photos).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seniors who own multiple properties have unique estate planning challenges.
