Re: Gifting money
If the answer to this question could be reduced to a paragraph or so, I would be happy to do so. But these are very fact-sensitive situations. You don't mention your father's current health for instance and there are many different ways of handling his money without gifting that might be an option.

Also, I have several free workshops coming up in the Detroit-Metro area. You could learn some additional information there.
