<span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Consider instead simply putting house in trust with the three parties, with the taking child having the right to live there rent free, with condition they maintain the property,
pay taxes and insurance etc.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Trust could then make disposition if the non-taking parties predecease the taking child; could also provide for equal division of proceeds in event of sale.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">I have an estate where mom died leaving 3 beneficiaries -- two children, and the surviving spouse of a third child who survived the parent, but died shortly afterward. Surviving spouse takes
the deceased child's share under a Community Property Agreement (Will had specified to the three children "share and share alike", with no provision for descendants of a deceased child taking...).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">One child is residing in mom's home, and wishes to stay there (the "taking child") -- the other child and the surviving spouse of the decease child, would like the taking child to be able to live
at mom's house, but wish to be protected in the event it is sold. The plan presently is for mom's estate to convey the house to the taking child, subject to a note and second deed of trust in favor of the sibling and surviving spouse. The sibling and surviving
spouse intend to forgive the payments due under the note, but -- in the event the house is sold-- would have their interests protected.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">There will be a TEDRA outlining this arrangement -- the question is: do we refer to the intent to forgive payments under the note in the TEDRA? I would think that to be fair to the taking child,
we would...but I'm concerned about what effect this might have with respect to excise and/or income taxes.</span></p>
