Re: Real Estate
There are many ways to convey real property and yes, gifts of real property are taxable.
This is not really a question that can be answered in broad terms. I would suggest sitting down with an estate planner or real estate attorney to determine the best method to convery your father's property taking into account all of your specific needs and concerns.
