Hello,
I have been reading some of your information on Gift Equity. My daughter and son in law are wanting to buy my house which has been in my family for 4 generations. I no longer live there but I still own it. I am willing to let them buy it for probably 30,000 dollars less than the value in order to first help them get a house, second so I can get out from under this financially and thirdly the house will stay in the family. From what I have read they will not incur any tax liability and it sounds like I won't either is that correct? It seems like a great win win situation for us all! Please let me know if I am incorrect or what exactly needs to be done to make this happen
Thank you,
Peggy
