What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado
I am writing for my Brother, my 85 year old Dad is wanting to buy my brother a home in Colorado. My Dad lives in Las Vegas right now. He is thinking of transferring his annuity to my brother so he can buy a home and get the 8000 first time tax credit. He is not married and has no children, he was also the benificary of the annuity anyway. In Colorado to bid on a home you have to show that you have the money in the bank or some certificate or they will not deal with you. This seems the easier way but we were worried about the tax consequences maybe. Also if my Dad buys the house in his name and then transfers it maybe that might get crazy because my Dad does seem to become very tight with the money and these homes that they are looking at in Colorado are fixer upper's and my Dad will no release the rest of the cash to complete the fix up problems. The annuity came from the sale of a home about 8 years ago, we are talking about $ 100,000. That is the amount.
