How a Retained Life Estate Works
- You deed your home or second home to [pgm_charshort].
- You receive a generous income tax deduction and pay no capital gains tax.
- You retain the right to live in your home for life or a term of years. You remain responsible for upkeep, taxes, and other expenses during this time.
- When the life estate ends, your home passes to [pgm_charshort]. Ordinarily, we would then sell the property. You may designate how we use the proceeds.
