Should I Give My House to My Kids?

During an estate planning consultation, clients often have a simple question for us:

“If I end up in a nursing home, I want to make sure my kids get my (house, land, stock, etc.). How can I do that?”

Our short answer is:

“You can do it, but you might not like what you have to do.”

The full answer truly is a long answer to a short question. But it is an important answer to understand, even if it may not be the one everyone would like to hear.
