To change the executor and transfer the house to your children would cost less than $500, but you'd better talk to me or another lawyer before you decide to do it. The executor change is not a big item, but giving the house to the kids is fraught with pitfalls. There are gift tax implications, what about your children's creditors, what if they get divorced, are there Title XIX issues? It's well worth talking to a lawyer who will make sure you know all the problems that may arise. You can call me at 860.233.6336
