A deed change feels like a smart decision but the fallout can take years and a courtroom.

This comes up most with two kinds of homeowners: the ones thinking about adding a family member to their deed, and the ones who just inherited a property they now co-own with a sibling or two.

Both are standing on the same fault line. How that title is structured decides who actually controls the home, who can force a sale, and what the tax bill looks like when it changes hands — and none of it cares what the will says.

The good news is that almost all of it is fixable while it's still a paperwork decision. It's only expensive once life forces the issue.

If you're adding someone to your deed, or sorting out a property you inherited with family, that's exactly the moment to get a second set of eyes on it.

Send me a message and I'll connect you with my local estate attorney who handles this all the time.

A client added their daughter to the deed to avoid probate. Clean, simple, done.

The estate attorney saw it differently.

Three things nobody told them:

1️⃣ Adding a name transfers your original cost basis. The taxable gain calculates from what you paid in 1991, not today.
2️⃣ Inheriting the home through a will would have given her a stepped-up basis to current market value. Same house, very different tax bill.
3️⃣ A gift tax return was required. They found out after.

One conversation with the right person before the deed gets filed can change everything. Always ask me about anything to do with your home. If I don't have an answer, I can refer you to my trusted estate attorney.

Drop a comment if you need a referral.

He titled it as joint tenancy. Seemed straightforward.

When he passed, his daughter's share automatically transferred to his son. The will didn't matter. The deed overrode everything.
She got nothing.

I was talking through a case like this with the estate attorney I refer my clients to and something they said stuck with me. They said most families don't find out how their deed is titled until it's too late to change it.

Do you know how yours is titled right now?

If you're not sure, that's worth figuring out before anything gets filed. Drop DEED in the comments and I'll connect you with someone I trust.

If you're the one helping a parent think through this, you've probably heard the same fear they have.

Most families rule out a reverse mortgage before they understand it, usually over the one thing that isn't even true. You don't hand over the title. Your parent still owns their home.

The conversation worth having isn't "will the bank take the house." It's whether this fits the bigger plan, next to downsizing, home modifications, and the local programs most people never look into.

That's the part the video doesn't get into, and the part that actually matters when you're sitting at the kitchen table trying to figure out the right move for someone you love.

DM me and I'll walk you through whether it's worth considering.

Summer nights in Olympus Cove when we get a little rain are the best.

I'll sit out on the deck and just listen to it, smell it, and watch the garden soak it up. (It's Utah so god knows we need all the water we can get!)

Tonight was extra special because we got a rainbow.

Do you ever just pinch yourself thinking, how lucky am I to live in such a beautiful place?

Can't think of anywhere I'd rather be right now.

Something I keep seeing with clients in their 60s. They're protecting their savings like it's the only thing they have, while sitting on hundreds of thousands in home equity they've never thought they could touch.

I sat with a reverse mortgage specialist and asked them to walk me through how it actually works. The costs, the options, what trips people up.

It's not for everyone. But if you own your home and retirement feels tighter than it should, it's worth understanding.

Save this and send it to someone who needs to see it.

Every summer I tell myself I'll get out more, and then it's September and I went to two things.

So this year I made the list early. These are the Salt Lake events I'd actually clear a weekend for, the ones I'll be glad I caught once the weather turns.

🌅 Twilight Concert Series | July 13, 17, 27, Aug 4, 29, Oct 1
🌅 Red Butte Concert Series | May 31 - Sept 22, gates 6-6:30pm
🌅 Haglund Ranch Concert Series | Check their calendar for scheduled shows
🌅 Millcreek Summer Jam Concert Series | Every Monday June-Aug, 7pm
🌅 Holladay Summer Concert Series | July 4, 11, 18, 25, Aug 1, 8, 15, 22

Knowing this area is most of my job, and the fun part is I get to share the good stuff too, not just the market updates.

Pick one, put it on your calendar, and tell me what I left off. I'm always looking for one more.

The rumor? "If you get a reverse mortgage, the bank takes your house."

Not true. I've heard this from a number of retired clients, and it's a main reason keeping them from exploring this option.

Here's what actually happens with a reverse mortgage:

• You borrow against the equity you already built
• No monthly mortgage payments required
• You stay in your home
• The loan balance gets repaid when the home is eventually sold

The specialist I work with said this misconception alone has caused homeowners to leave real money on the table.

If you (or your parents) are retired and sitting on a paid-off or nearly paid-off home, this is worth understanding before a decision has to be made under pressure.

Comment down below or DM me and I'll personally walk you through what this looks like for your situation.
