Good Morning, 

DID YOU KNOW?   The wealthiest 1% of families have received, on average, $2.7 million in inheritance. Wealth transfer is the most certain wealth creator. $30 trillion will be transferred over the next few decades. But as we all know and have learned, inheritance can be spent frivolously.
 
DID YOU KNOW?  39% of second home owners paid all cash for their home. (NAR)

DID YOU KNOW?  A common structure to gift a vacation home is called a qualified personal residence trust, or QPRT. These trusts are tapped by those who want to retain the right to continue using the home for a certain period of time, which is typically the rest of their expected lifespan, while not being the official owner and thereby avoiding estate tax policies that may change later. Under the trust, the property would transfer to the designated beneficiaries at death. (PENTA)
