Donation During The Life Of A Stepfather

Better ask a lawyer, on forums we will only assume that the proposed way is possible. What I know for sure is that renunciation of inheritance is done after death, that doesn't work for you at the moment.

Maybe you didn't formulate the question correctly? Do you want to have more for your children and less for others? Since your husband is a "mollusk", will he hardly oppose your decision? But you speak in the plural. It's too clear ... this division of children. I don't want to offend anyone, but it's very ugly. Think about it.

You have made a very sensible decision. I had a nightmare with unsettled real estate. In most cases, parents do not settle these things due to ignorance or a desire for their property to serve as a "guarantee" for their children to look after them. Now I don't know what the laws are, but before the surest way to distribute the inheritance was through sale. You include a clause in the contract for the right to use part of the property while you are alive, and that the property cannot be sold or rented without your consent. It is best to contact a lawyer or seek advice in a legal forum, I think I came across one some time ago.

With purchase and sale! Donation can be disputed, purchase and sale - is not disputed. Transfer through buying and selling to each child what you have decided and your job is clean. Better that way than inheritance quarrels ever ...

I think that number 2 is not only wrong, but also grumpy. Being a predictable person - what's wrong with him? !! To dispose of your property for life - what's wrong? !! It's even right. N. 2 is looking for a calf under the ox. The fact that the man is a mollusk and the adopted son a weak psychologist does not make her the author bad. Nor does it mean dividing children. Author, children cannot, I suppose, inherit a particular home. They will inherit, in years / I wish it / everything, and then they have to share it again. There are more options, so ... only a lawyer can help in the case of advice.

Thank you all. Even at number 2, because of such smart people who think they know everything, I decided that it would be better that way. I don't know how he imagines his children sharing and not having peace. I don't want to leave a reason to shudder in the end

I have one more question. If there was property purchased in my name during the marriage, divided by the three children? Or is only the property that is in my husband's name divided?

During the marriage, as far as I know, each purchased property becomes a SIO, that is, common, in simpler language. And accordingly the heirs are all the children of both spouses. Maybe there are ways for one spouse to prove a greater contribution, but how can it be, I don't know ... And again, author, if you have money, go to a lawyer with the documents you need, pay him about 30, and he will answer. I have only a cursory knowledge and as much as I can and I know, I told you .. I think number 4 is also right.

If property was purchased during the marriage, it is SIO, regardless of the fact that it was only in your name. After your husband's death, his half will be divided equally between you and all his children. For example, if it is a house bought during the marriage in your name and your husband dies, you have half, as alive, and divide the other half by 4, that is, all his children will inherit 1/8 of the house, and you will you own 5/8 part. However, if you die first, your husband will own half and share the other half only with your common children, then your common children will have 1/6 of your property, and your husband 4/6 after his death, if not has settled things after your death, these 4/6 will be divided among all his children.

If you have not adopted the adopted child - he does not inherit anything from you. But he will inherit from his father, who can inherit from you if you "cheat" him, ie he outlives you. It is safest to make a sale or donation, but if you transfer everything to your children there is a risk that at some point they will sell the property while you are alive and hang. Events of all kinds, as much as you know them. For example, he owes money or is convicted (again for money), is not available and sells his property. A lawyer must say how reliable the agreement is to use the property while you are alive. For example, I know that apartments are sold "with grandma", ie you buy it, but grandma will live in one room with a new owner. If this is possible, imagine selling your apartment to gypsies - go live the rest of your life relying on the law. If you have apartments for everyone plus one to stay for you - best, but it will eventually be shared again.

Author, it depends on which of you will die sooner. If your husband dies earlier, you inherit half of his property and the other half is shared with his three children. After you die, your property, including the inheritance from him, is divided only between your children. I am only talking about his property, as it is not clear from your post in whose home you live, whether it is common property or only his. If the apartment is shared, in the beginning you have half, so we are talking only about his property. If you die first, he inherits half of your property, and the other half is divided between your two children. And when he dies, his property, including the one you inherited, is divided between the three children. This also applies to the shelter you bought during the marriage, and provided that you have not adopted your stepson. In short, she wins her surviving husband and children. In this case, the two children together will gain more if their father dies first. Don't be shocked, it sounds awful, but there is that in life. I recently had such a case, I was afraid that my daughter would be left without an inheritance, so I asked the lawyer what would happen if we both died together, in an accident, for example. And she told me that then they were looking for who died first. These are very unpleasant things, so I advise you to take care of the children, because nothing is known. Moreover, they are from different marriages, if they are from one marriage it is easy.

Thanks to everyone for the clarification. From everything said so far, I was just dizzy

I present it to you fresh, because 2 days ago I spoke with a notary on this issue. If you want to distribute real estate to them in advance, ie before your death it is best to buy and sell between you and your children, simply and clearly
