Hi All
I have come across this scenario multiple times and wanted to see how you are handling transfers.
In this situation, the client owns a house with ex-husband, the divorce decree did not split the property to one or the other. The ex-husband is willing to give it to client. If we do a quit claim deed and transfer as a gift, does the ex-husband need to do anything else besides file a lifetime gift exemption with the IRS? I want to make sure the taxes are not later an issue.
THanks
