A final reason you should not gift your home or real property to your children (part 4 of 4):

A final reason you should not gift your home or real property to your children is loss of control. This may seem extreme, but it happens and that is why I am writing about it. For example, you give your home or real property to an adult child, and you later get into a fight or disagreement about something. Your child can kick you out of your home; you no longer own it. They even have a legal right to have you forcefully removed by eviction if you refuse to leave because they now own the property.

If you want to leave your home or real property to your children, there are better ways to do it than making a gift. Contact the Law Office of Roy Neal Linnartz, PLLC at 830-625-9300 for help planning to leave property to your children without the unintended consequences of gifting it to them.
