We want to buy a house now that my son and daughter-in-law will want to own half of a year from now. We will buy with 50% down with a 15 or 30 year mortgage. My son will inherit half our estate when we die. How should we structure the purchase now and how will we transfer the half ownership in a year without triggering Federal Gift tax obligations?
Your question cannot be answered in this forum without more details. You really need to contact an attorney to achieve your results. Good luck.
