Avoid Taxes On Property Transfer

Hello! Here are some general ways to avoid taxes and fees when transferring your house to your son in New York:
- **Gifting**: You can gift the property, keeping in mind the annual gift tax exclusion.
- **Life Estate**: Retain a life estate, transferring the property upon your death.
- **Trusts**: Use a trust to transfer ownership.
- **Deed with Consideration**: Transfer with minimal consideration.
For personalized advice, consulting with a local attorney is recommended.

A deed with consideration involves transferring property in exchange for something of value, typically money. In New York, this means the buyer provides payment to the seller, who then transfers the property title. It helps ensure the transaction is legally binding and recognized.
