<div dir="ltr">Jeffrey-<div><br></div><div>If there are other assets in the estate that the same beneficiaries are entitled to, you can exempt more than just 1/3 of the transaction as an inheritance to the one who is retaining the property by distributing other assets to the other heirs and greater percentage interest in the real estate to the beneficiary who is retaining it. If, however, the real estate is the sole asset, only the portion that is an inheritance would be exempt for REET purposes, and the remaining 2/3 of the transaction would be subject to excise tax in my view. Ultimately I'd try to use the remaining assets to reduce the portion of the transaction subject to REET to its lowest amount by distributing to the beneficiary who is keeping the real estate's entire estate interest to them in the form of real estate, and the non-real estate assets to the other beneficiaries if all are agreeable to that. If there are enough other assets so that the heir keeping the property gets 70% of the property, then only 30% would be subject to excise, if 60%, then 40% is subject to REET, etc, and that's a better net result for everyone. See WAC 458-61A-202 for details.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 19, 2018 at 4:13 PM, jeffrey winter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jdwinter@hotmail.com" target="_blank">jdwinter@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

3 kids are inheriting real estate from a parent. Initially, they wanted to sell it, but now the brother wants to buy out his siblings' interest in the property. There is no debt on the property. There are some bank accounts that might be used for nonprorata
distribution purposes, but it's not clear that they are enough.</div>

If the three enter into a TEDRA agreement that provides for this transaction, will there nevertheless be excise tax due if money changes hands?</div>
