Can You Suggest A Good Book Or Website For Estate Planning?

Primarily for ppl in Washington STATE. I hear that if a grown (adult) child lives at about with the parents for 2 or more yrs that the parents can quitclaim the house to the child. This would be to avoid (legally keep away from) estate taxes on the house if it were willed to the kid. Thanks.


Answer: I would express with an estate planning attorney. Most good attorneys will do a free consultation, and give a recommendation depending on your particular needs. Each state has slightly different laws and each scenario is different so it is not a A-OK idea to take advice from people on tv/the internet.

My Uncle is 90. My colleague, sister and myself are heirs to the estate. My father is the executor and has power of attorney. Other than the usual $12000 per year gifting no planning has taken place. I understand the estate tax laws change in 2010. What shoud we do?
estate value: 2.5 million


Answer: Advert to with a financial planner with expertise in in estate planning immediately. A will is ok, but if you are talking about $2.5 mill you need to under consideration options like a family trust. There are 2 reasons for this:

#1) a Will is public knowledge...anyone can subject the paper and see when a will reading is.

#2) A Will is contestable in the courts.

Why are those 2 points important?

Let's say I live next door to your uncle
