This CLE webinar will provide guidance to elder law and estate planning attorneys on the challenges and legal implications of real property transfers. The panel will discuss the impact of property transfers on income, estate and gift tax, Medicaid transfer rules and penalties, ownership structures, and other key items.

Description

Real estate transactions in the context of elder law and estate planning can have significant legal and tax consequences. Elder law counsel and estate planners must understand critical concepts, applicable rules, and available planning options in handling real property without disrupting Medicaid eligibility or causing any adverse impact on a client's estate plan.

The transfer of real estate raises a number of complex issues for elder law counsel and estate planners, such as estate, gift, and capital gains tax implications and Medicaid eligibility issues for the client. In order to avoid or mitigate these issues, counsel must have a complete understanding of all available planning options prior to making any transfers of real property.

Depending on the transfer method and form of ownership of the property, developing an effective plan can be complicated and rife with pitfalls. Elder law counsel and estate planners must recognize critical issues associated with Medicaid transfer rules and the income, estate, and gift tax implications of such transfers.

Listen as our panel discusses the impact of property transfers in elder law and estate planning, income, estate, and gift tax issues and planning techniques, Medicaid transfer rules, and avoiding penalties.
