This is a tricky one.\n\nYou would pay capital gains taxes on the difference between the sale price and the basis.  The basis would include the original cost plus any improvements.  The property taxes were probably deducted each year so you can not add those to the basis.  You may get a "stepped-up" basis for half of the land based on the fair market value of land on the date of his death.\n\nIt is time to see a professional.  I would not attempt this on your own.

Call your local Title Company and ask if they can help with this.  That's where I would start.

Well it looks like your off to a good start. Ebay is an excellent way to sell things. Good luck!

if you want to know who owned the property, check with the municipality.  if you need a notarized copy attesting to that, the town should know who notarized the sale.  they might not have a copy but you can try and find if the notary is still in business and has the records

If this is an old, old tree and is free of severe insect damage then you have a small fortune on your hands!  I suggest going to E-bay and sell to the highest bidder.

I sell new homes for a living and I would say an older one.  But make sure you get a GOOD home inspector and warranty to ensure that everything is okay on/in the property and building.

Since these things have little to no resale value, and banks DON'T want to end up holding them, you probably won't find another one.  You might want to try to get a personal loan to refinance this, or a home equity loan on your primary house. \n\nNot that I would recommend it, I think timeshares are a HORRIBLE deal.

contact the executor of the estate and ask him/her if and when it is for sale. make an offer.

shouldnt be any so long as you effectively live in one of them until of them are sold.  if you are liable to cgt then you can claim the costs of conversion as well as your original purchase price as the purchase price

No. The "owner" told you to get rid of it.  Tell the insurance Company to contact the former owner, and don't forget to give his name and address if you have it.\n\nI would also give the owner a bill for storage in excess of $40.00 (say $10.00 per month) for the time it was "stored" on your property.

Find out who the owner is (local tax records at your town hall or county clerks office will help you determine the owner) and then contact them to see if they are willing to sell.  If they don't want to sell, there is nothing you can do.

I would suggest getting an up to date valuation from the company which initially valued the property at 50 to 60 k more. If the valuations are miles apart suggest that you would like to take the valuations to arbitration or contact the valuers institute and ask them for advice.

If you lived in the property for ALL of 2002 and 2003, but not after that, then you'd have to sell by January 1, 2007 to qualify, since the specified time is two out of the five years prior to the date of sale, and 5 years prior to 1/1/07 is 1/1/02, the start of your two year period of residence.  So you're running out of time in about 6 weeks.  If you only lived there part of 2002 and/or 2003 but not after that, then you don't have the full two years residence so don't qualify.\n\nAs someone else said, the fact that you had converted it to rental property after that does complicate matters, and you couldn't exclude all of the gain if there is depreciation that you claimed or could have claimed.

Tell them you're really interested in the cabin, but you just can't afford that right now.  Ask if there are any "off-peak" weeks when they would be willing to accept a lower price.  Assuming your schedule is flexible, of course...  But that could also open up friendly negotiations for your current schedule, too.\n\nIf they have to choose between negotiating a lower price or getting $0, they will negotiate.  If they have a waiting list for the cabin for the week you want, then you're out of luck!

No that's wrong. It is 7 years for taking posession. However, just because you are using it doesn't mean you own it. If the owner is paying taxes on it, that doesn't work. The owner must have not paid for 7 years. However if you don't pay the taxes before they are 6 years late, the government will take the property. If you are talking about a right of way then it is 20 years of obvious use.

Need so much more info to answer correctly - what is the gain, how long did you own the property, what kind of property was it.

Call the lawyer or the title company who recorded the deed originally. They should be able to help you.
