I'm sure it's for tax purposes. How would I, or should I, do this? Thanks!
If you think it is fraudulent, stay far away from it. But if they are really going to use the space and pay rent, I don’t see a problem.

Your ability to make amendments to the trust will depend on the terms of the trust itself. Some settlers grant that power, others do not. If you and your siblings are all in agreement to follow your father’s wishes, however, you may be able to arrange it and still be adhering to the terms of the... Read more »

The father listed the property to sell with me. I was unaware of their ownership arrangement. One daughter has been involved in the sale throughout its entirety. The other has been aware of it the entire time and has been supportive. After having been on the market for a year one daughter does not... Read more »
Unfortunately, all owners are supposed to sign the listing agreement for just this reason. If one owner does not want to sell, it is up to the other owners to take legal action to force the sale. This is unlikely to be complete by your contract closing date.
I just want to make sure I take out an insurance policy to keep from him having to bear any burden.
When you die, whatever assets are in your estate will be used to pay your debts first. Family members are not responsible for your debts.

You should probably have both. Just signing over the title does not guarantee that the buyer will register the transfer with the motor vehicle department. If he then gets into an accident it could get messy. The bill of sale will show the date of transfer and can also be used to remove the vehicle... Read more »
