Example
Father & Son buy a house
Father: 50% Cash
Son: 50% Traditional IRA
Title reads as:
Custodian FBO Son’s IRA 50%, Father 50%, TIC
Disqualified?
• Before the deal
– Father has no ownership
– Son’s Traditional IRA has no ownership
• Because this is a new deal
– Father and son do not have to worry about the “disqualified person” rule
Disqualified?
• After the deal
– The “disqualified person” rule comes into effect
• Neither Father nor Son can live in the condo
– No one who is disqualified to either of them can live in the house
