1(a) - On June 1, 2016, Grandmother offered to make an inter vivo transfer of her lake cabin to her Granddaughter, Jane, on condition that Jane would pay her brother, Tom one-half (1/2) of the value of the cabin (as of June 1, 2016). The fair market value of the cabin on June 1, 2016 was $300,000. On June 15, 2016, Jane accepted the transfer of the cabin from Grandmother and paid her brother, Tom $150,000. Grandmother and Grandfather (who were husband and wife) purchased the cabin in 1964 for $20,000, paying $2,000 in cash and the $18,000 balance by a loan secured by the cabin (mortgage), which was paid before Grandfather’s death. No note was signed. The value of the cabin at Grandfather’s death, when he died in 2005, was $90,000, and as required by I.R.C. Section 2031, ½ of the value of the cabin ($45,000) was included in Grandfather’s estate for estate tax purposes. Grandfathers will provide that upon his death, his ½ interest in the cabin (value of $45,000) was to go to Grandmother (Grandmother already owned 1/2 of the cabin before his death). Therefore, Grandmother owned 100 percent of the cabin at the time of the transfer to Jane. Grandfather and Grandmother, at all times lived in Idaho.
