If so, not much would need to be done other than to say "no", as the kids would currently own the property outright by operation of law.Now, that said, step-dad may have his own claims to be considered in evaluating all of this if he in fact contributed to mortgage payments, maintenance, etc.

Here are some additional benefits it has over SD IRA:Great tax-shelter: contribution limits nearly 10 times higher than an IRA (up to $60K/yr)Exempt from UBIT on leveraged real estateGreater protection from creditors Ability to invest tax-free using Roth (post-tax) component Lower cost since there are no custodian, asset-based or transaction feesand more!!

I have read over other intros and appreciate peoples contributions thus far.
