We hear this one more than you might think....
"I already added my son/daughter to the deed - we're taken care of" or "I want to add my {insert loved one here} to my title".
We understand the heart behind it completely. You love your family and you want to make things as easy as possible for them when you're gone. But this particular shortcut can sometimes create more problems than it solves.
When you add someone to your deed, their creditors, divorces, and legal troubles can now attach to your home, even while you're still living in it. And it still may not keep your estate out of probate the way you're hoping.
Your home is likely one of the most valuable things you've worked for. It deserves more than a shortcut.
There's a better way to make sure it gets into the right hands, privately and without court involvement. And we'd love to walk you through it.
That's exactly what we're here for. Follow the link in the comments to schedule a complimentary review of your estate plan with Burton Law Office.
