Legal Question in Elder Law in New York

My mother-in-law in CT recently passed away and my wife and her two brothers are going to sell her house. anything we get form the house will be split 3 ways. is there a way I can avoid paying tax in NYC on that? Can I put it into an education fund or perhaps into the purchase of a new home and therefore not be taxed the full amount?
