What is the best way to leave your house to your children?

The best way to leave your house to your children is with your Will. If you give the property to your children during your lifetime it can create numerous problems, one being a lifetime gift and tax implications, deliberate deprivation and capital gains. Leaving your house to your children in your Will avoids any tax implications and does not leave your occupation in the property vulnerable.
