What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My wife and I are thinking of selling our 3 BR house and buying a 4 BR house jointly with her aging mother, who would sell her condo and use the proceeds to contribute to the purchase. One reason for doing this is to allow her mother to will us her portion of the house upon her demise, but we want to know if that would be subject to gift or inheritance tax. Any advice would be appreciated!
