Huffy? Gimme a break , Rob. I open my comment with "No offense..." and close it with a smiley face emoticon and you think THAT'S huffy? Pretty thin skinned for a developer.
As to estate taxes, currently anything under $1.5M is not generally taxable. We're in a weird situation here in the states legislation wise because of an old Omnibus bill that could result in a) eliminating inheritance tax altogether b) reverting back to a $600K threshold for estate tax to apply or c) having the threshold established at $2-5M. Most money's on the latter end result. BUT...the very situation I enumerated in my example is a very common mishap....and expensive one I see when people don't consider all the consequences of their legal actions.
While I understand your intent with having another name on the deed, the urgency of your advice ("...siblings on the title, NOW.") was a bit overstated given other consequences.
But nice try at backpeddaling....
Unhuffily yours, D
