Update: 2025-07-30
Description
Adding a child to your deed or relying on a will feels "simple," but it can spark tax shocks, creditor risk, and a long probate slog. In this quick episode, discover why a revocable living trust is the cleaner, court-free route:
-
Joint tenancy pitfalls – capital-gains surprises, liability headaches, and frozen titles if a co-owner dies.
-
Why wills still land heirs in probate – and how that drains time and cash.
-
Trust = control + privacy – keep full authority while you're alive, then transfer the house seamlessly when you're gone.
