Dear all,
Last month, I shared a real‑world example of a family property—owned since the 1950s—being transferred casually and repeatedly between relatives, ultimately creating a maze of unclear ownership. Situations like that aren’t rare, and they highlight how easily well‑intentioned family decisions can snowball into complicated title issues decades later.
This month, I’m revisiting the topic of family ownership transfers and bringing back a set of questions from my March 2018 Newsblog that remain just as relevant today. These inquiries about Joint Tenancy, Living Trusts, and entity ownership come up often, and while escrow professionals can share industry experience, it’s crucial to understand when legal counsel is needed to avoid unintended consequences.
