My Parents Gave My $1.2M Beach House To My Brother—Then The Bank Asked Who The Owner Was
The morning they brought me to the bank, my mother wore her good blazer.
I noticed that detail in the parking lot, before anything else happened — before the lobby, before the desk, before the moment a mortgage officer named Sandra Chen pulled up a file on her monitor and the entire fiction my parents had been constructing for six weeks came apart in the space of one question. Mom had worn the structured navy blazer she saved for occasions she considered serious and hopeful simultaneously: job interviews, the closing of my parents' own home refinance in 2019, the day she signed my brother up for community college. She wore it when she believed something important was about to go right.
She had believed that this morning something important was about to go right.
I had driven myself, which they hadn't expected. I'd gotten the call from my father the previous Thursday — calm, businesslike, the specific tone he used when he had decided something and was presenting it as a discussion. "There's something we want to sort out with the Malibu property," he'd said. "We've made an appointment with the bank for Saturday. We'd like you there."

Personally I wouldn't allow use of the Malibu property to my parents after what they did
Better yet, NEVER allow family to use your property, ever. Don't give them a key or code, install as good a security system as you can afford. I found out first hand, family will regard your stuff as their stuff, and will rob you blind. 🤨
