Program Summary

Real property owners regularly transfer title to a revocable trust, irrevocable trust, or legal entity to avoid probate, provide for efficient and private means of managing and dealing with property in the event of incapacity or death, for privacy purposes, or to achieve other estate planning goals. However, these are not “set it and forget it” strategies, the initial transfer of property to the trust or entity is only the first step. There are important additional actions to ensure the planning has maximum effect, such as updating title and liability insurance to adequately insure the owner of record, and addressing issues related to homeowner’s and/or homestead exemptions. This session will address what should be done after title is changed and what can go wrong when certain steps are not taken.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Why transfer real property to a trust or legal entity?
  • How to ensure refinancing doesn’t result in an undesirable title change
  • How to ensure adequate homeowner’s (and similar) insurance policy coverage and title insurance coverage
  • How to address homeowner’s property tax exemption and the homestead exemption for a primary home
