Lester, a widower, age 75, owns a ranch with 350 acres which he purchased fifty years ago. The property has greatly appreciated in value over time. His will leaves the property to his son and daughter in equal shares. However, Lester has considered selling the property now because he may no longer be able to live alone on the ranch and care for it. The problem with selling now is that he will incur substantial capital gains tax on the difference between what he paid for the property and its current value. Conver s e l y, leaving the children this property at death will increase their basis in the property to its value at his date of death, meaning that the only capital gains assessed will be on the increase in value from his date of death to the date of sale. Given the children intend to sell as soon as possible, that could mean zero tax. Is there an option for Lester that retains the stepped-up basis and relieves him of the burden of the property if he can no longer care for it?

Remember Bon Jovi’s 1986 hit that begins, “Shot through the heart, and you’re to blame. You give love a bad name,”? It turns out, Bon Jovi was on to something.

“What’s your name,” he asked with a curious look on his face. He was cute, personable, and probably six years old. “Do you know my name?” he continued. “Do you know what I like?” His questions were coming at me faster than I could respond. I wanted to ask him if he had a good Christmas, but I waited him out. “I like red snow cones, do you?” Then, he took off in a whirlwind of motion and I smiled as I watched him run to his mom. Here we were in January, the middle of winter, and the kid is thinking about snow cones. I’m sure there must be some lesson involved?
