    [Hawaii Real Estate Q&A - Estate Planning Measures] 🏡 ✨

    Q: While there are a variety of estate planning options for real estate, there is one that is generally simpler ・ and less expensive than setting up a larger trust, both in terms of structure and cost, and is structured to 1) retain control of the property during the owner's lifetime and 2) avoid probate probate procedures after his or her death. There are two types of Deed Deeds, TOD Deed and Life Estate Deed, which are structured to automatically pass title to the beneficiaries designated in advance during the owner's lifetime, avoiding the need to go through the probate process. What are the main characteristics of each?


    🔎 ✨ TOD Deed:
    -Summary: A form of Deed similar to a bank account or life insurance beneficiary designation, whereby the full title to a property is held by the owner during his/her lifetime, → The owner can designate a beneficiary to succeed to the property after his/her death and register a TOD Deed
    to avoid the lengthy and costly probate process and to allow the predesignated beneficiary to succeed through the name change process after the death of the owner. * Avoid probate
    * Flexibility for owners to change beneficiaries or revoke arrangements at any time during their lifetime as long as they register their updates


    🔑 Life Estate Deed:
    -Summary: An owner creates a Life Estate Deed for himself or for his designated successor(s), effective during his lifetime. The owner or his/her designated successor has the right to occupy/use/profit from the property as a Life Tenant during his/her lifetime, and upon his/her death, a designated beneficiary can take over the ownership of the property. Register a → Life Tenant Deed of Transfer of Real Estate Rights that allows a pre-designated beneficiary to take over the property through the title transfer process after the Life Tenant's passing, avoiding the probate process. \The main difference compared to the above TOD is that the beneficiary's future rights are created immediately upon creation. After creation, the Life Tenant retains current occupancy/use/revenue rights while the beneficiary is granted future rights with a promise to succeed to ownership upon the Life Tenant's passing
    *Avoid probate process
    *Avoid probate process *Avoid probate process *Avoid probate process *Avoid probate process *Avoid probate process *The beneficiary is promised future rights at the time of creation, thus limiting the current owner's control over the property (both parties must agree to any changes or revocations)
    *Example scenario with less flexibility than the TOD above: A) You want to transfer your property to a family member while avoiding probate. A.) A family member is set up as a Life Tenant in a Life Estate so that if the family member passes away, the property reverts back to the original owner instead of being inherited by the family member's heirs, B.) A family member is set up as the head of a blended family so that after the death of the head of the blended family, the children can inherit the house while avoiding pro-bate. B ∈ A) to set up a Life Estate with the couple as Life Tenant and the children as beneficiaries when the children wish to inherit the home but at the same time want to secure the property as a lifetime residence for the remarried spouse

    [Hawaii Real Estate Q&A Knowing and Relieving - Inheritance Measures] 🏠 ✨

    🏠 🧐Q: I want my children to inherit my Hawaii property in the future, what is the best procedure? - The following is an explanation.


    ☝ ️By naming your Hawaii real estate in the name of a living trust and naming your children as beneficiaries, you can avoid probate proceedings after the death of the owner and your children can inherit the property. The property can be inherited by the children. In addition, based on the step-up in basis system, the cost basis of the property is stepped up to the market value at the time of the owner's death, and the child can inherit the property at that reset value. or minimize it, depending on conditions such as the timing of the sale of the property after inheritance.


    🔑 Conversely, inheriting real estate through probate can be a lengthy process that can take from one to several years and can be expensive (approximately 3-7% of the subject estate) depending on the terms. \The estate may also be subject to expensive processing fees (e.g., 5% of the value of the property, $ 500,000 property → $ 25,000)


    ✨ Other related tips:
    -TODD (Transfer On Death Deed): Real estate only. Only for assets. Allows a predetermined beneficiary to succeed to the property through a transfer of title after the death of the owner, avoiding the lengthy and costly probate process.
    -POD (Payable On Death)&TOD (Transfer On Death)：Applied to bank and securities accounts. -POD (Payable On Death)&TOD (Transfer On Death): Applies to bank and securities accounts, etc., whereby a predetermined beneficiary can be given access rights after the death of the account holder, while avoiding freezing of the account and probate procedures by following procedures with the bank or brokerage firm, etc.
    *Federal and State Estate Taxes are available at the federal/state level. (Various bylaws apply depending on your nationality and whether or not you are a resident of the United States as domicile) (No estate tax as a federal/Hawaii state tax)
    *Disclaimer: Provisions may vary from state to state. Please check the applicable state regulations for matters outside of Hawaii.

    [Hawaii Real Estate Q&A Property Tax Homeowner Exemption Program] 🏠 ✨

    🏠 🧐Q: Property Taxes - What are the requirements to qualify for the homeowner's exemption?



    ☝ ️When purchasing real estate in Hawaii, there is no stamp tax, registration tax, or real estate acquisition tax as in Japan. Property tax is levied under the jurisdiction of each county and is based on the property tax assessed value, type of use, and applicable zoning and land use regulations. There are two general tax brackets for residential properties on Oahu. Properties that are assessed as a principal residence and qualify for the homeowner's exemption, regardless of assessed value, and other properties that are not a principal residence and do not qualify for the homeowner's exemption with an assessed value of $ 1,000,000 or less, fall into the "Residential" category. Residential \If the property is a principal residence and the homeowner's exemption applies: a flat tax rate is imposed on the assessed value minus the exemption amount $ 120,000 if the owner is 64 years of age or younger and $ 160,000 if the owner is 65 years of age or older. \On the other hand, a second home or investment property that is not a principal residence and does not qualify for the homeowner's exemption and has an assessed value of $ 1,000,000 or more is classified as "Residential A" and is subject to a two-tiered tax rate. taxable value.




    🔑 Hawaii's property tax fiscal year is from July 1 of the current year to June 30 of the following year. Property tax payments can be made in two installments (August and February) or in one lump sum payment. The main dates for each fiscal year are:

    -7/1 Start of the current fiscal year for property tax
    -7/20 Dispatch of property tax notices for the first half of the current fiscal year
    -8/20 Due date for the first half of the current fiscal year for property tax
    ↓
    -9/30 Deadline to apply for deduction for the next fiscal year
    -10/1 Determination of assessed value of property tax for the next fiscal year
    ↓
    -12/15 Dispatch of notices regarding assessed value for the next fiscal year
    ↓
    -1/20 Second half of the current fiscal year Property tax notices sent out
    -2/20 Property tax payment due for second half of current fiscal year
    -6/15 Honolulu City Council sets tax rate for next fiscal year
    -6/30 End date of current property tax year



    🔎 Property tax calculation example:

    [Example 1-Residential classification]
    Assessed value $ 1,600,000, homeowner's exemption $ 120,000 (owner age 64), tax rate per 1,000 assessed value $ <4469> 3.50 for:
    ( $ 1,600,000- $ 120,000)= $ 1,480,000
    $ 1,480,000 ÷ $ 1,000= $ 1,480x 3.50=Tax $ 5,180
    [Example 2-Residential A Category]
    Assessed Value $ 1,600,000, no homeowner's exemption applied, tax rate Tier 1 (first $ 1M€) per $ 1,000 Tax Rate $ 4.00 and Tier 2™($ over 1M) assessed value $ per 1,000 at tax rate $ 11.40:
    Tier 1: $ 1,000,000 ÷ $ 1,000= $ 1 ,000x $ 4.00= $ 4,000
    Tier 2: $ 600,000 ÷ $ 1,000= $ 600x $ 11.40= $ 6,840
    → = 4,000+ $ 6,840= tax $ 10,840

    [Hawaii Real Estate Q&A - Married Couple? or sole owner?"]] 🏠 ✨

    🏠 🧐Q: Should Hawaii real estate purchase be in married couples name or sole ownership?


    ☝ ️First of all, there are 4 main types of ownership:
    1-Tenancy in Severalty (Sole Title)}:
    - Subject Entity - Individual, Corporation, Trust
    - Form of Succession - Designated Heir succeeds
    - Disadvantages. No effect on avoidance of probate proceedings in the case of a single individual sole name (other entities by creation)

    2-Tenancy in Common (common name):
    - Subject Entities - 2 or more individuals, corporations, trusts
    - Right of Possession - 100% of entire
    - Ownership - separate and independent ownership in proportion to percentage of ownership
    - Mode of inheritance - designated heirs of each interest holder succeed
    -Disadvantages: avoidance of probate proceedings in case of individual joint ownership None (other entities by creation)

    3-Joint Tenancy:
    - Subject matter - 2 or more individuals
    - Possession - 100% jointly and equally
    - Ownership - 100% jointly and equally (Interests: Equal percentage)
    -Form of inheritance - Rights of Survivorship, whereby the decedent's interest passes equally among the surviving interest holders +Probate estate probate avoidance effect
    (*If the surviving interest holder is a foreign citizen, the contribution rule is applied for tax purposes. (*In the case where the surviving owner is a foreign national, the excess of the contribution rule may be subject to estate tax as the decedent's estate)
    -Other succession rules: transferable without the consent of the other owners
    -Benefits: -Effect of avoiding probate proceedings (survivor's beneficiary rightsRights of Survivorship) (e.g., if one spouse owns 100% of the interest in a married couple, the other spouse's share of the interest is deemed to be a gift and is not deductible)
    -Disadvantages: May be subject to a deemed gift for tax purposes (e.g., if one spouse owns 100% of the interest and it is acquired in the name of the married couple, the other spouse's share is deemed to be a gift and is not deductible) (e.g., if one spouse invests 100% of the property and the property is acquired in the name of the married couple, the other spouse's share of the property is considered a gift and the portion exceeding the exemption may be subject to gift tax)

    4-Tenancy by the Entirety:
    - Subject entities - married couple, legal partnership civil union partners, etc.
    - Subject entities - married couple, legal partnership civil union partners, etc. - Possession - 100% of the entirety
    - Ownership - Husband and wife/partner jointly own 100% of the entirety as an indivisible unit
    - Form of inheritance - Rights of Survivorship surviving spouse/partner succeeds to the surviving spouse's/partner's interest in the decedent's estate through rights of survivorship + avoidance of probate proceedings. (However, if the surviving spouse/partner is a foreign national, the percentage of interest in excess of the surviving spouse/partner's investment may be subject to estate tax as the decedent's estate as a result of the application of the contribution rule. <3469> -Disadvantages: Same as #3 above


    🔑 ✨ A: As mentioned above, there are advantages and disadvantages between different types of estates, and measures should be taken on a case by case basis, A: As a measure to alleviate tax complications between the U.S. and Japan, it is advisable for one spouse to simply acquire the property in his/her sole name and then designate the other spouse as the beneficiary by using TODD* (Transfer on Death Deed), or to acquire the property in the name of a living trust to avoid prohibition.
    *TODD (Transfer On Death Deed) - For real estate assets only. Allows a predetermined beneficiary to succeed to a property through a transfer of title after the death of the owner, avoiding the lengthy and costly probate process.
    *In the event of a discrepancy between the two, the above settings regarding inheritance by name type, TODD, etc. generally take precedence over the contents of the will. *Disclaimer: The provisions may differ from state to state. Please check the applicable state regulations for matters outside the state of Hawaii. \ \cH0000000000}

    [Hawaii Real Estate Q&A Vacation Home and 1031 Tax Deferrals] 🏠 ✨

    🏠 🧐Q: What are the IRS Internal Revenue Service guidelines for exchanging a mixed-use vacation home through a Capital Gains Tax Deferral 1031 Exchange?



    ☝ ️ ✨ If you own a vacation home that is a mix of personal use and guest use, you can use a 1031 Exchange at the time of sale for the period you rent it as guest use as income property under IRS regulations.

    [For sale and exchange property]
    - As a period of actual use as income-producing property: The taxpayer, as owner, must have owned the property for at least 24 months immediately before the exchange (for sale property) or immediately after the exchange (for exchange property).
    - During each of the 12-month periods above, the taxpayer must A) rent the property to a third party for at least 14 days at fair market rent for each of the sale and exchange properties, and B) the taxpayer's personal use of the property must be for 14 days or the period during which the property was rented out at fair market rent.
    *1031 Exchanges: Sale of real property used for investment or commercial purposes, with the proceeds of the sale, less expenses, applied as reinvestment in like-kind property exchanged for like-kind property, and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.



    🔑 ✨ Other Bylaws, etc.:
    - Overview of "Personal Use": - For each owner/nominee Use by the owner/taxpayer, family members (immediate family and siblings) of the owner/taxpayer and the owner/taxpayer's family members is considered "personal use"
    - However, use by family members is not considered personal use if the use is at fair market rent and as a principal residence
    - Use by a third party other than the above
    -Mixed-use classification: Only the period/percentage of time the property is used as income property is subject to tax deferral through a 1031 exchange, and the capital gain amount on the property sold is prorated over the period of time. Note: In a 1031 Exchange, it is important to consult a tax advisor to determine the tax basis based on the residency requirements ・

    Have you heard of Seasonal Hire ？?

    In the United States, there is a work arrangement called “Seasonal Hire （ Seasonal Hire ）,” in which companies temporarily increase their staff in preparation for the Christmas season.

    In the retail industry in particular, hiring often begins around August ・ and September each year, with positions advertised as limited-term jobs lasting until around the end of December, when the Christmas shopping season winds down, or until early January, when stores are busy handling returns.

    “I’m not looking for a long-term job, but I want to work just until the end of the year”
    “I want to focus on working during this time of year”

    For people like this, seasonal work might be just the right fit.

    At Alliance Personnel, we are currently receiving requests from clients for seasonal positions.

    If you’d like to learn more or simply hear a bit about these opportunities, please feel free to contact us.

    Of course, you’re always welcome to contact us for advice on job searches and job openings—not just for seasonal work.
