What Options Do You Have for Dividing Your Home?

Most parents try to split up everything evenly for their children but how do you do that with a home? While bank accounts and retirement funds can be easily divided, a house poses unique challenges. It’s a very common estate planning discussion in our office and one that we recently got asked about. What are the options for splitting a home between multiple children?  You can’t exactly slice a house in half.  Would they be forced to sell it?
