What do you all think about the concept I'm showing below for framing at a transition between a new and existing roof for residential construction?

How will the ledger be attached? Have you checked (e.g., looked at) he framing of the existing wall where the ledger will attached?
 
SDS screws to the gable end wall or gable end truss. There will have to be some field verification here.

The intent is to transfer minimal gravity load to the existing wall/truss by having the new end truss directly adjacent only a foot or so away.
