    <p>Why is the mother on title if she didn't contribute any funds? 
      Was she just co-signing on a loan or something?  If so, couldn't
      it be argued her ownership interest is nominal?</p>
    <p>Also it's unclear a bit because you started by referring to
      parents and then only to the mother.  Are the mother and father's
      situations identical?<br>
    </p>
    <p>I would agree with the need to consult a tax attorney, both to
      resolve any gift tax issues and any gain on sale issues.  But if
      the parents' interest can be seen as just a nominal interest with
      minimal tax consequences of any type, then it might be worth
      clearing up before selling so the escrow doesn't face these
      issues.  If escrow handles the deed I would assume they issue a
      1099 to the all the grantors (which is an assumed answer to one of
      your questions--I'm not certain).<br>

              or other expenses? They are presumed to own 50/50 unless
              otherwise established. </div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>On sale, the daughter may be eligible for the gain
              exclusion on the sale of a primary residence, assuming she
              qualifies under the ownership and residence tests. The
              parents’ capital gain is on investment property, assuming
              no treatment as a rental. They probably report on their
              separate returns and a 1099 goes to all owners. </div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>I would be careful about a pre-sale gift. That would
              mean the daughter would recognize 100% of the gain. Does
              it exceed her $250K exemption? Also, I am not sure she
              would qualify for it on the gifted portion because she has
              neither owned nor resides in that portion long enough. </div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>I would suggest they consult a tax attorney/CPA. And
              consider either having the daughter make a gift of the tax
              the sale adds to the parents return, or, if they don’t
              want the gain on sale, they can gift their share of the
              gain net of the taxes. </div>
