I already have a living trust and a pour-over will made out with my daughter inheriting the home. If I changed the deed and had her name added to the deed, would this assure her that the house wouldn’t go into probate? Or should I leave the deed as it is right now? Maybe the house is worth about $350,000 or $400,000 now. What would the tax ramifications be for me and for her. -- Anne |
