[WSBARP] Transfer on Death re: Mobile Home

Fri Sep 3 09:58:09 PDT 2021

Okay, now I’m going all in as far as disregarding cost.  But hear me out.  In addition to a trust, the daughter and the parents could also form an LLC and the parents could transfer the property into the LLC with certain allocation and survivor provisions.  By using anything other than a trust, LLC, or other entity, though, it seems you would still run into the same situation at the parents’ death – the daughter would end up impermissibly owning two mobile homes.

Good idea to talk to the Park, though.

Yes.  That would work and so would a simple Will.  But the cost of those is a lot higher than if there were some simple equivalent to a TODD for a mobile home.

I am going to talk to the Park to see what will satisfy them.  Usually a good way to approach things.

Thanks,

Mark, et al:

I did not tell the whole story because it gets complicated.  The parents own one mobile home in a mobile home park.  The daughter owns another mobile home in the same park.  The rules of the mobile home park do not allow one person to own two mobile homes in the park.  That is why the parents cannot transfer the mobile to the daughter now.

Parents want to make sure that the daughter gets the mobile home when they die and then the daughter can deal with the park rules.  But they don't want to transfer it now because of the damned park rules.

They could do Wills but there must be an easier and less expensive way to do it.

How about just putting the descendant on title as a joint owner with right of survivorship?  Or deeding it to the descendant while reserving a life estate?

Subject: [WSBARP] Transfer on Death re: Mobile Home

I have a client who wants to set up the parent's ownership of a personal property mobile home so that it transfers on death to an individual, a descendant.  I have never heard of this, or done it, with a mobile home that is personal property.

Maybe there is another way to do it besides a Will.

I think she wants something formal because there may be trouble from a sibling.

Any ideas are welcome.
