How many years before someone gets dementia can their property be turned over to children?
The ability to transfer property to children before a person develops dementia varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances. Generally, it can be done as long as the individual is still competent to make such decisions, typically several years before dementia manifests. However, it's essential to consider potential legal implications, tax consequences, and the need for proper planning, such as establishing a trust. Consulting with a legal or financial advisor is recommended to navigate these complexities.

If my daughter dies before me what happens to the life estate I made?
I will assume that you conveyed your real property to your daughter and reserved a life estate in that property. In that case, your daughter is the owner of the property. She can leave it to someone in her will or it will pass to her heirs-at-law under the laws of intestacy in your state. Generally, if she is married with children, her husband and children will inherit the property if she has no will. You can check your state laws of intestacy at the related question link provided below. Your daughter's death will not affect your life estate. Whoever would inherit her property upon her death either by will or by intestacy would inherit it subject to your life estate.
