I'm totally unsure of which circumstances would necessarily trigger a gift tax when deeding directly to a beneficiary.

But outside of those special circumstances - I wish them luck, waive their application fee, and move on.

I have the same question, but different circumstances.  

It is nice to have a place to come and learn from like minded men and women.

Quick background, the house is in an estate and there is no paperwork showing that the women who called me is the heir, father and uncle were the owners.

As to your specific circumstances, I can't tell you what is the best route for you.

No one has identical circumstances, nor will anyone's circumstances ever be perfect. 

In some circumstances, the Act exempts owner-occupied buildings with no more than four units, single-family housing sold or rented without the use of a broker, and housing operated by organizations and private clubs that limit occupancy to members.

Just wondering, since in some circumstances, it could be a way for someone to basically pay you to clear the lot or clear it for you with the firewood being the payment.

The Mo Dept of RE may look at the number of deals, frequency, amounts earned, intent and circumstances of transaction to determine ig you're in the business of RE, just as most states will.
