I would like some basic pointers with regards to capital gains
on an inherited house.
In 1984, my grandmother changed the deeds of her home adding
my mother - with the intention of simplifying matters when
she died - my mother would automatically inherit it.
My grandmother continued to be the sole resident - paying all
bills and maintenance, until she died in 2004. Following her
death, the property was valued at 165,000 pounds by multiple
estate agents, and was immediately put on the market.
It has took 1.5 years to sell, during which the asking price
was slowly reduced until now where an offer has been accepted
for 150,000 pounds.
My mother owns her own home and has never lived at the
property in question.
Will the fact that my mother had her name added to the deeds
count against her - will capital gains be based on the value
of the property at the time my mother's name was added? Or
could this be treated as a lost of 15,000 - no GC applicable.
Thanks,
David

Is this a UK tax question, an Irish tax question, or a US
tax question? It would help to know?
