Took your advice and talked to someone local we found from your link to NAEA.org. 1st thing we found out was that since my mother in law lived in the house for 2 of the 5 years before it was sold, no cap gains tax are due. Applicable section of tax code is section 121, fyi. She is going to prepare the estate tax return for us.
Thanks much for your advice. I should've asked sooner.
