Why Does Real Estate Capital Gains Tax Planning Matter?
Mitigate Taxes and Simplify Real Estate Transitions
Real estate is assessed at its fair market value at the time of the owner's death to determine any applicable tax obligations.
Probates are required to validate the deceased’s will and authorize the executor of their estate to transfer ownership to the indicated beneficiaries.
Selling or retaining property is decided by the heirs, and this choice may depend on associated costs, sentimental value, or financial necessity.
Our team provides strategies to help mitigate tax liabilities and streamline the real estate transfer process for families.
If the property is a principal residence, proceeds may be exempt from taxes under certain conditions for a spouse inheriting a property, the transfer typically occurs on a tax-deferred basis without immediate tax implications. Non-spouse beneficiaries may face capital gains taxes depending on the increase in property value.
