Re: deed with life estate
There are advantages and disadvantages to using a deed with a life estate in this way, and the age of your son would also affect the answer, so we'd need to ask you details to help answer you. A number of people use this option. A similar option may be to create a joint tenancy with right of survivorship.
We generally charge $125 plus recording fees for either($10 to $12 usually). If you are interested in this, please contact my office.
