By Ilyce Glink, Samuel J. Tamkin| ArcaMax@ Q: We currently have an impound account for our home, which includes both property taxes and homeowner insurance. Because of the increases with both of these, every year our monthly payment goes up. We would like to have more control over our monthly payment and would prefer to keep it the same throughout the remaining life of the loan. We are OK with setting aside money for the property taxes and insurance on our own.

By Ilyce Glink, Samuel J. Tamkin| ArcaMax@ Q: I recently read one of your columns and found something I thought may be misleading. When one owner of a property held as joint tenants with right of survivorship dies, I thought the surviving spouse receives that person’s share on a stepped-up basis. Thus, the surviving spouse avoids the capital gains tax on the deceased spouse’s share and still has their own $250,000 exclusion for as long as they want to live in the property. Am I wrong? A: You are not wrong.
