9/12/24 – What’s a Trust Loan and How Does It Work After Inheriting a Property? Imagine this: You and your siblings inherit the family home. You love it - those cozy memories of holidays! But your siblings? They want cold, hard cash. How do you keep the house without staging a sibling brawl? Enter the trust loan, the financial superhero that lets you keep the property and buy out your siblings - no arm wrestling required. How a Trust Loan Works: Inherit the Family Home: Your parents left you a property in a trust, and you and your siblings each have a slice of the inheritance pie. Get the Trust Loan: You want to keep the house, but they want cash. No problem! You get a loan against the property, use it to pay off their shares, and voilà! You’re the new owner. Why It’s Awesome: You keep the family home and avoid a property tax reassessment assuming you live in the property. Your siblings get their money, and everyone’s happy. No need to sell the house - win-win! Key Benefits: Keep it in the Family: You keep the property without making a tearful goodbye. Tax-Saving Magic: Avoid the nasty surprise of a property tax hike (if you plan to live in it). Peacekeeper: Perfect for avoiding sibling drama. Everyone gets what they want! So, next time you have a client inheriting a property, remember: with a trust loan, they can keep the house and the tax basis. Also, sometimes waiting for a relative to pass is more beneficial than selling before they pass if their property increased above the capital gains exemption limit.
