  1. If I am joint owner of a Mobile home with my mother, and she dies, I am now sole owner (right of survivorship)…

    1. When I sell said Mobile,
    Is ANY or ALL of INCOME from sale called Capital Gain ???
    2. This home is my mother’s PRINCIPAL resident,
    Does that mean : 1/2 of Sale is Capital Gain to me ??
    3. The Pad rent, Hydro, Insurance premiums paid, Sewer and Property Tax , all need to be PAID until property (Mobile) sells.
    Are these items DEDUCTIONS off of the Capital Gain ??

    1. Since the mobile home was your mother’s principal residence, you do not have to pay capital gains tax if you sell the home for what it was worth (market value) on the date of her death. If you sell it for more, then the difference (i.e. sales proceeds less market value on date of death) will be treated as a capital gain. One half of the capital gain will be included in your income in the year of sale.

      The carrying costs for the home that you paid for are non-deductible.
