Buying or Selling a Home/purchasing a home with a llc

Question
If you purchase a home and put it under an llc, when you pass away does your wife have any ownership in the home or does the ownership belong to your partner in the llc?

Answer
This is not a real estate question, John. LLC stands for Limited Liability Company. Because it is not a partnership or a corporation, the owners of an LLC are not partners or shareholders, they are “members.” Such companies are frequently labeled Limited Liability Corporations, but corporation is inaccurate and company is the proper term. You would need to pose your questions regarding an LLC to a corporate or business attorney, most likely the attorney who put the LLC together in the first place. I do wish you well.

Expertise

With more than 41 years as a real estate broker, I can solve most any problem presented. If I can`t, I do my research. Problems with mortgages, trust deeds, foreclosures, odd ways of conveying titles. Most any good Realtor can answer questions satisfactorily, but I answer questions that most cannot. Also, ask about my hard-copy newsletter, The Landed Gentry. It can also be sent to you via PDF.
