Re: Real Property Transfer/Tax Consequences
In all honesty, I would love to try and help you but I really feel that you would be better served asking a CPA that question. I handle a lot of real estate closings but a CPA is specifically trained for just that type of question. A tax attorney might also be of assistance, but I would still recommend a CPA. They do a pretty good job of staying on top of all of the changes. Good luck.
