Quotes to ponder:
"It is often best to work with a lawyer to transfer the primary residence to a revocable living trust."
"The best thing about a revocable living trust: as long as the grantor(s) is/are alive, the trust is fully revocable! So mistakes can be easily fixed."
"Parents placing their primary residence in their own revocable living trust does not necessitate the filing of a federal gift tax return (Form 709)."
