Property inheritance by overseas resident

Property inheritance by overseas resident

Didn't find your answer?

I am executor for my Dad's estate and the 50% share of his house, owned as tenants-in-common with my mother, is to be split equally between myself and my sister who is resident in the States. I understand we need to complete the relevant Land Registry form to change the title and draw up a Deed of Trust  between us. I presume on any subsequent sale she would be potentially liable to CGT according to US tax law and not UK tax law - is this correct and is there anything else we should be aware of given that she is US resident?

IRS 544 - taxation of non-USA gains

IRS publication 544 might help.   She is taxable as USA resident, on her worldwide income.
