Assuming that your question concerns taxes upon the death of the original owner, that would depend on the state of residence at the time of their death and the size of their taxable estate.

So gain upon sale of the property should be calculated from the value on the date of death to the date of sale. This can be a complex area, so be sure to consult with an attorney who specializes in estate matters and a CPA who specializes in calculating capital gains.... Read More
