Retained Life Estate

Retained Life Estate

A personal residence or farm can be given to SMU, with the donor retaining the right to live in or use the property for life. This is called a "life estate". Upon the death of the donor, the property passes to SMU. Such a gift can provide income tax and estate benefits.
