From our friends at Lawyer’s Title, a great infographic on the many ways to take title when buying real estate in Newport Beach, Costa Mesa or anywhere in the state of California. (other states likely have similar legal significance and state specific resources should be reviewed.)
How to take ownership of a property is very important and should be carefully considered, potentially with consideration from your attorney.
The form of ownership taken in the vesting of title will determine who may sign various documents involving the property, who may sell all or a portion of the property, what happens to a decedent’s share upon the death of a co-owner, and future rights of the parties to the transaction. These rights involve real property taxes, income taxes, inheritance and gift taxes, transferability of title, and exposure to creditor’s claims. Also, how title is vested can have significant probate implications in the event of death.
The below is for information purposes only from Lawyer’s Title.
