Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Louisiana
My husband and I puchased a house together prior to marriage that was in his name only. We divorced and he kept that as his property. He recently passes without a will. He only had one heir, my stepson who wished to give me the property. Can he act of donate to a step-mother (me). Am I liable for taxes on this donation?

He can donate property to anyone but first a succession must be done. You are taxed on income.

Yes and talk to a tax preparer.
