What information do I need when going to a lawyer about signing my house over to my son? -

I am not in good health and have a lot of bills and when I pass hopefully not soon I dont want the house sold to pay bills so I d prefer to sign it into my sons name because it s all he would have and doing so would protect it. What information do I need before I go to a lawyer regarding this ?

ok my suggestion is a great site I found: http://locate-power-of-attorney.info/ It s a site that has Lawyers subscribed to it. It s free to do. You shoot off your case and their lawyers are shown the info, then they might choose to take it or not and quote you a price, then you choose who you go with. You get to thoroughly check the lawyer s backgrounds etc, it s good because you just spend 15 minutes with the site and that is it. You could have a choice of a few lawyers. Free to try, no obligation to go ahead with anything

All you need to do. Is sale it to him for 1.00. Go get the deed noterized.This will work ,if you have no leans or morgages on it. If you do have leans or morgages, It will have to be either sold, Or he can pay them off. But dont wait. Because once some one slaps a lean on it . It will have to be paid first.Before any thing can be done with the house. good luck.Dont forget property yaxes. In the state of ok. if your not paying them ,Any one can go to courthouse, pay them, And end up with your house.

Bring your bills and explain your situation. If you have a copy of your deed and owner s title policy (should have gotten both when you bought house) bring that too. Also, when you set up the consultation, you can ask the person on the phone what you need to bring. God Bless.

Go to an attorney that deals with trusts and estates. If you deed it over to your son, this could be seen as a gift and subject to taxes. By transferring via a trust you can pass a given amount of assets annually without causing a taxable event.

You don t need to bring any information. Just tell him or her that you want to transfer your house to your son so that you can escape debt and when he/she stops laughing they will tell you dream on.
