How can I sell my deceased mother's property and not have it
seen as a capital gain if, prior to her death, she added me as a
joint tenant?  Question Details:  My mother listed me as a joint
tenant in her coop prior to her death. It wasn't my desire and I
had no financial involvement. She passed away with the desire
that proceeds be divided among her 3 children. Escrow says they
need to file a 1099 for me. What can I do to have the sale seen
as an inheritance, not pay capital gains, and be able to
distribute the proceeds to my sisters as an vs. a gift from me?
As I understand it, normally the property is valued based on the
death of the owner's death. Would that still be the case here?
