Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Colorado
Estate Law & Probate
I am joint owner of several bank accountswith my only remaining parent. The will divides assets equally with my siblings. If we don't have to go through probate can I just divide the cash assets without a problem of gift taxes as the amount will likely be over $20,000?

You should consult with an experienced estate attorney before you proceed. In addition, you may need separate counsel concerning the tax effects to you about what you are proposing.
