FlyingRon,
I plan to sell my house in a few years (more than 2 years) but the price has been appreciated more than $250k.
I want to add my son to the home so that he can own half of the house and both of us can exclude up to $250k each.
Thanks.
FlyingRon,
Thanks for your response.
I found the code 11911 from this website
https://ccr.saccounty.net/Documents/TransferTaxExemptions.pdf
So you are saying I just need to use only one code 11930 on one Grant deed?

I currently have my house in Revocable Living Trust and now I want to transfer it to Joint Tenants (co own with my son)
To achieve this, I am planning to record 2 Grant Deeds:
Grant Deed 1:
"Transfer into or out of Revocable Living Trust, R&T Code...
Can my son pay my monthly Mortgage payments?
I mean after I add his name to the Title.
Is he responsible for 1/2 of the mortgage?
If not, does he have to file Gift tax if the total payments exceeding 15K/year?
Thanks for your detail explanation!
It looks like that she can't exclude the CG tax because the Trust currently owns the house.
Can she still use Prop 13 to carry the same Cost of Basis (FMV of the house when her father died) to avoid Reassessment to keep the low property Tax?
FlyingRon,
Thanks for your comment. I was referring to the Capital Gain Exclusion, if she owns and lives in the house for 2 years, then she can exclude. Since the house is not in her name, I think she can't exclude the gain?
Regarding the prop 13, because she does not transfer the title to her...

I have a friend selling house that still inside the Trust. She is both the successor Trustee and Beneficiary of her father Living Trust. Her father has already died 10 years ago but she did not transfer the house to her own name. Now she is selling this...
I see the benefit of step-up but I can't live with him until I die. I want him to get his own house and I plan to move to other state when I retire. This is a good time to sell the house and help my son to start a new home in the near future. That's why I try to avoid paying Capital Gain tax.
Taxing Matters,
Thanks for the detail explanations.
If I choose option (1), what GIFT tax amount do I have to file to the IRS? 900k/2 = 450K or (900k-300k loan)/2 = 300K?
Do I have to pay capital Gain Tax at the time I add my son name to the title?
I thought I do not sell 1/2 of the...
Thanks FlyingRon!
I will make sure he will be more than 18 when I sell the house.
If Lender won't call the mortgage, then this is doable plan for me. If the county won't re-assess the property tax, it is a bonus for me. I'm still concern about adding the Promissory Note (or 2nd Deed of Trust)...
Thanks for your opinion HRZ.
The CG (Fed+State) would be around 28%. With 200K gain, the tax would be around 56K. It's not a lot but this is after tax money.
What is the name of your state? CA
I bought a house long time ago for $450K and now the value has increased to $900K. The Capital Gain would be $450K if I sell the house now or in the near future. I currently have a mortgage balance of $300K in this house. My son and I have been living in the...
