So 200 an hour is standard. That’s what I was quoted but it’s scary. Are they going to answer my question or say we will research and get back to you.
no mention of condo was made when will was probated and my brother the executer did not file estate tax return. Technically still part of estate.
if condo was gifted there is no stepped up basis.
jtwros can not will their part of property to anyone, it automatically passes to survivors so I’m not clear on how it is even part of estate.
JTWROS with descendent still a joint owner is not a gift. Full stepped up basis to FMV at time of death.
inherit by will, full stepped up basis to FMV at time of death.
all 3 situations basically the same but if gifted you pay more tax. I don’t see how this makes sense.
