<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t think disclaimer works if children have their own children or spouse—disclaimer operates as if disclaimant had predeceased, so unless the child has no spouse or issue, the parent would not be next in line to inherit.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also don’t think that TEDRA is really appropriate, just because it’s a bit weird to try to change the laws of intestacy by agreement. The TEDRA would functionally have to agree to basically what the two deeds would accomplish—and then
a deed would still be necessary.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I agree, two deeds is probably best. It is probably the cleanest way to keep chain of title clear.<o:p></o:p></p>

be a two step process: Administrator’s Deed to Dad and two children, then two children QCD their interest to Dad. Gift tax is not an issue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
