Removing my name from properties

Was one of the properties your principal residence? Was either property rented out (i.e. income generating intent)?

Did you receive any funds for the condo you removed your name from?

All impacts what, if any, capital gains exemption and/or gain/loss may be applicable.

Particularly the section on Sale of a Principle Residence.


Also good article here on "deemed" disposition, capital gains, and non-arms-length transactions:

You really should sit down with an accountant and the actual numbers.

Your task is not like selling a car or cell phone.as said above talk to Tax consultant and lawyers. RFD is not really good answer. If you are in mess you need good legal help and not RFD help.
To be honest I have frustration old users with very few posts ask such questions here in RFD.

As others have said: get an accountant / lawyer.

This can get very costly and full of headaches quickly.

You can't "gift" a property without paying the appropriate taxes that apply (capital gains, land transfer tax -this may be on your parents-, declaring the 'sale' properly to avoid penalties and losing primary residence exemption, mortgages/loans that may still be associated with the properties, etc...). As you can see: can get very complicated fast (especially if "Due to family issues last year" means your parents are not friendly to whatever you end up declaring - as in, *you* need to declare everything, which means that on top of what happens on your end, things may happen on your parents' end)

To say again: get a good accountant and / or lawyer for this. The $2 gift means pretty much nothing here. Almost less than nothing. It possibly even created a situation where money exchanged hands (get an accountant and / or lawyer) which created a buy/sell transaction (which existed without the money changing hands but adds an extra layer of headache).

Question related to OP's, but not quite the same:

If person A is on title for 99% of a property, and person B is on title for 1%, what is the easiest / cheapest way to remove person B and transfer 100% ownership to person A? For person A this is a principal residence, person B lives else ware in their own principal residence. There is no mortgage on said property, value is probably around 150K higher than when bought, so gains on the 1% would be around $1500.

Which Province? Although it probably matters little. You can a very simple legal agreement of sale, which has to go through the same land title registration process as any other property sale to change the registered owners on the title. A notary can do this in BC.
