A client added their daughter to the deed to avoid probate. Clean, simple, done.

The estate attorney saw it differently.

Three things nobody told them:

1️⃣ Adding a name transfers your original cost basis. The taxable gain calculates from what you paid in 1991, not today.
2️⃣ Inheriting the home through a will would have given her a stepped-up basis to current market value. Same house, very different tax bill.
3️⃣ A gift tax return was required. They found out after.

One conversation with the right person before the deed gets filed can change everything. Always ask me about anything to do with your home. If I don't have an answer, I can refer you to my trusted estate attorney.

He titled it as joint tenancy. Seemed straightforward.

When he passed, his daughter's share automatically transferred to his son. The will didn't matter. The deed overrode everything.
She got nothing.

I was talking through a case like this with the estate attorney I refer my clients to and something they said stuck with me. They said most families don't find out how their deed is titled until it's too late to change it.

Do you know how yours is titled right now?

If you're not sure, that's worth figuring out before anything gets filed. Drop DEED in the comments and I'll connect you with someone I trust.

The rumor? "If you get a reverse mortgage, the bank takes your house."

Not true. I've heard this from a number of retired clients, and it's a main reason keeping them from exploring this option.

Here's what actually happens with a reverse mortgage:

• You borrow against the equity you already built
• No monthly mortgage payments required
• You stay in your home
• The loan balance gets repaid when the home is eventually sold

The specialist I work with said this misconception alone has caused homeowners to leave real money on the table.

If you (or your parents) are retired and sitting on a paid-off or nearly paid-off home, this is worth understanding before a decision has to be made under pressure.

I knew this amazing home would go fast! This is what correct pricing and great marketing does for a home!

This one-owner Millcreek home has been lovingly maintained for decades and it shows. Solid bones, good location, real opportunity. The kitchen is the standout — oversized, tons of cabinetry, center island, open to the dining space. Newer carpet and LVP flooring throughout. Two wood-burning fireplaces (main and downstairs) for the colder months. Out back: a covered patio, private yard, and a 24x28 two-car garage with a 10' door — room for trucks, toys, or a workshop. Minutes from Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons, downtown SLC, and everything Millcreek has going for it. Solid home, great bones, real potential. 🏡

Outdoor concerts on venue lawns. Night markets you show up hungry to. Rooftop bars that fill up by 7 on a clear evening.

This is a regular summer night in Salt Lake.

Some of the best events are free. The energy at dusk is unique and invigorating. And it runs all season long.

These are some of the summer night spots I most look forward to each year (and the ones that keep me going through the winter).

🌅 Twilight Concert Series
🌅 Utah First Credit Union Ampitheatre
🌅 LiveDaybreak Summer Concert Series
🌅 Millcreek Summer Bazaar
🌅 Salt Lake After Dark: Night Lights Tour

Most homeowners pick their life insurance the same way they pick a side in an argument. Someone told them term was throwing money away, or someone told them permanent was a ripoff, and that stuck.

I sat down with the life insurance professional I refer my clients to and asked for the version they give their own friends. The thing that stuck with me wasn't about term or permanent at all. It was a question: if something happened to you, could your family actually stay in the house. Not for a few months. For good.

The homeowners who feel settled about this almost never have more money than everyone else. They have one person looking at the whole picture instead of five people each watching one piece.

I'm not the one to explain the inside of a policy. But if you're buying, selling, or refinancing, I want to be the person making sure someone is looking at the bigger picture with you. DM me for a warm intro to the pro who walked me through all of this.

Send this to a homeowner who set theirs up years ago and never looked at it again.
