Retained Life Estates


CLICK HERE FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION



How it works

You transfer your residence, farm, or vacation home to Winterthur with a contract that allows you to remain on the property for life or a term of years.

You continue to live on the property for life or a specified term of years, while continuing to be responsible for all taxes and upkeep.

The property passes to Winterthur after your lifetime.

Benefits

  • You receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of the appraised value of your property.
  • You can terminate your life estate at any time and take an additional income tax deduction.
  • You can have the satisfaction of making a significant gift now that benefits Winterthur later.
