The Deadliest Estate Planning Mistake: One Signature That Costs Your Kids 40%

Описание: Most parents think they’re doing the right thing by adding their child to the home title early.
In reality, this single signature can trigger massive capital gains taxes and destroy a family legacy.

In this video, James explains:
• Why adding your child to your deed while you’re alive can cost them tens or even hundreds of thousands
• How the IRS uses “tax basis” to quietly take your family’s wealth
• The difference between gifting a home vs. inheriting it
• How a step-up in basis works — and why it matters
• Why living trusts and transfer-on-death deeds exist

This is not about loopholes.
This is about avoiding a mistake that families regret every single day.
