What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? California
I am purchasing a home with my parents for them to live in (I will not be living in the home, I own my own home) and need advice on the best title vesting for ownership to have the least tax consequences, liability to me upon their death and the easiest title conveyance. There is also the issue of liability for the lien and payments, which makes a case for me (son) not being on the original deed and note.
We were going to hold title as joint owners (mom, dad and son) with right to survivorship or we could have them hold title as husband and wife, community property, with a living trust ammendment listing me, the son, as eventual owner upon death.
Which ownership method would be better from a legal and tax perspective? Other options for vesting?
