Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
A U.S. Senior citizen living in California will soon be selling some land purchased many decades ago in a foreign country and having the money wired into her bank account in the United States. Are there any U.S. tax implications upon receiving this money to this woman?

You better believe there are, and they are way too complicated to deal with in an internet Q&A. You need to consult with a tax accountant who is familiar with repatriation of capital gains earned abroad. Do NOT allow the wire transfer to go through without consulting a good tax person.
