What Senior Real Estate Planning Covers
Downsizing and right-sizing, helping seniors transition from a larger family home to a property that fits their current lifestyle, budget, and care needs.
Estate and inherited property, guiding families through the sale, holding, or transfer of property that is part of an estate, including probate situations and inherited homes with multiple heirs.
Bridge financing advisory, explaining the options available when a senior needs to transition before their home sells, including programs that can cover assisted living costs during the gap.
Capital gains and 1031 Exchange, advisory guidance on tax strategy for seniors selling appreciated property, including 1031 Exchange options and Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) considerations for portfolio preservation.
Family consultation, Jai meets with the senior and their family members, in person or virtually, to ensure everyone understands the options, the timeline, and the decision-making process before any commitment is made.
Distressed and estate sale coordination, connecting families with trusted local partners for home cleanout, estate sale management, and property preparation when needed.
