My mother pased away in 1997, in the living trust, the condo was left to my sister and myself. I have been occuppying the condo sice my mother passed and now we want to sell the condo . The title is still in my mothers name. What do I have to do to sell the condo which will sell for about 300k with the least amount of tax issues. I want to do this and actually give my sister a larger share since I have been living there all these years.
