§ 21110 Grantor'S Lifetime Property Control

Key Takeaways

  • •If someone gives away their stuff (like money or a house), they can still keep control over it while they're alive.
  • •They don’t have to explain how they use or spend the money from that stuff.
  • •Their estate (the stuff they leave behind when they die) won’t be responsible for how they handled it.

Example

A grandma gives her house to her kids but keeps the right to live in it and rent it out.

Grandma can still decide what to do with the rent money and doesn’t have to tell anyone how she spends it. Even after she passes away, no one can complain about how she used the money.
