<p class="x_MsoNormal">I would think you could put the agreement in a TEDRA that both parties sign and, assuming no existing mortgage, sister could purchase the house from the estate in the agreed-upon amount that sister is paying brother.  The transaction
 would trigger excise tax on 50% of the purchase (as it will obviously be below FMV) and also has gift tax implications.  I don’t see any way around that (but some of our creative colleagues just might).</p>
