I think you would bifurcate for REET, claiming a partial inheritance exemption for the excess value over price. I don’t think the county/DOR should be able to impose a higher assessed value as the price. For federal income tax purposes the property still gets the same basis adjustment to FMV. Interesting question I’ve never researched - what is the effect of the partial purchase on basis in the hands of the buyer assuming basis was adjusted higher than the purchase price. </div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>John J.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I agree with Krista. If the house is worth $500,000, and a purchase price is set at $400,000, then the testator has made a bequest of $100,000. The bequest
could be very large if years and years go by before the testator dies. As Krista points out, FMV might be better.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
