Or you can simply assume the title if they are willing the house to you and roll the taxes owing at that time into a new mortgage.

You can then direct that money you would have spent on property taxes and invest it in whatever you like and get triple the return in a conservative bond ETF or something similar.
That is correct... spend your kids inheritance..lol
Also if your house is assessed for over I think 1.4 mill there is no home owners grant....
