Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Is there taxes on property acquired via a death & a trust;
I have acquired some property in Wisconsin when my Mother died recently. I would like to sell it. Is there any federal or state taxes involved? Property is in Wisconsin, I am in Texas and the property is in a trust.

The property may be sold by the trustee. If the property has appreciated in value, the trust will be obligated for federal capital gains.
I don't know if there are any state taxes associated with the sale of property in Michigan. Again, if there are, the trust is the paying party.
