Cosponsored with the Real Property Section of the Virginia State Bar
There are many issues surrounding real estate whether owned by elderly or incapacitated individuals or by estates and trusts, including how to properly handle the management, transfer, and sale of real property after the death of the owner. Among these issues, our presenters focus on:
- The importance of a durable power of attorney in handling and managing real property for incapacitated adults
- The advantages of gifting real property prior to death for a variety of reasons including Medicaid planning and reduction of the taxable estate
- Utilizing the flexibility of a transfer-on-death deed
- Methods for determining the post-mortem value of real property and the tax consequences of a transfer or sale
- Identifying the fiduciary obligations of an executor or trustee related to the management, transfer, and sale of real property held in a decedent’s estate or trust
- Distinguishing the power of sale versus the authority to sell
- Potential litigation consequences of post-death real property issues
