Keep It In The Family
How To Pass Down Property Without Probate or Taxes
Are you prepared to protect your family's home, land, or real estate from being lost to probate, taxes, or conflict? Far too often, Black families and other communities of color lose valuable property - not because they didn't care, but because they didn't know the rules of the game.
Keep It In The Family(TM) is your guide to breaking that cycle. This practical and empowering book demystifies the complex process of transferring property from one generation to the next, without it getting tied up in probate court or triggering unnecessary tax burdens.
With clear language, real-life examples, and actionable checklists, you'll discover the tools and legal strategies that families use to protect property, preserve legacy, and pass on generational wealth with intention.
In This Book, You'll Learn:- How to avoid probate using tools like Transfer on Death (TOD) deeds, living trusts, and co-ownership agreements
- What types of taxes apply when inheriting property, and how to reduce or eliminate them
- Why many wills fail to protect real estate and what to do instead
- How to have productive family conversations around heir responsibility, equity, and ownership
- How to protect inherited property from becoming a marital asset in the event of divorce
- Plus: a BONUS section on how to protect inherited property from becoming a marital asset
Whether you're a current property owner, an heir, or someone preparing to pass down what you've built, this book will give you the confidence and knowledge to keep your family's property where it belongs - in the family.
