Answer to Question 1

Students should consider the pros and cons of the following:
Assumption (cash to mortgage)

Wraparound

Carryback

Installment contract

Second mortgage

Refinancing

Interest only mortgage

Pick-a-pay mortgages

Answer to Question 2

The benefit of this type of arrangement is that the spouse does not pay estate tax on the full estate. The spouse does not inherit the property, only the right to use the property for life. The children would pay the estate tax, but the estate is not taxed twice using this method.
