My grandfather drew up and signed a warranty deed with life estate with an attorney for his Iowa home in 2001. However, it has not yet been recorded with the state.
He now lives in a nursing home and we all wish to sell the house. I am signing a warranty deed to transfer claims to the new buyer and grandfather is signing a deed to transfer his remaining claim also.
The question is: who receives the proceeds from the sale? Me or him? Can the sale of the house be income tax exempted under his name? If I receive proceeds is it long-term capital gain or a gift? Can the proceeds be evenly split between us?
