Default Re: Transferring a house to children question

Be careful with asset transfers. If the transfer of the real estate is at a below market value, it can be considered a gift, and will be deducted from your parents lifetime Gift Tax Exemption.

That can be perfectly OK, as long as they don’t require the entire exemption.
