Looking for a recommendation for an IL estate attorney who can help me navigate the following:Father passed away with both his and my name on the deed, mother also deceased....one sibling wants to purchase it and pay the other siblings back.I need help figuring out my stepped-up basis, Inheritance Law, how to ensure I am legal with transferring, or adding, brother's name to title. 

He has one sibling. 

Since they are in the estate and the estate owes debts and one of my siblings is disabled and can't own a property I am working on trying to by the properties myself just so that I may keep my family legacy.  

The other factor is that this is a family deal being split among siblings. 

I know that she is the trustee of the estate shared with two other siblings (her parents passed over the last few years).

And my siblings are all great parents too (And even though I'm not a parent yet I'm a youth mentor for the inner city community in which I grew up)!

My father, for example, pays $1250 a Month for a 3 bedroom single family home right next to the school my little siblings go to simply because he couldn't find any other 3 bedroom apartments in the area.

More buildings are bought, with equity divided as seen fit, with an eye towards siblings and the IRS) and you go from there.You will have problems, however, helping yourself to 30 percent equity up front.

My sibling/business partner would like to give me X amount for 50% ownership and we transition it into a rental (I am moving, but remaining in CA).

I contacted PA revenue department and found out based in their calculation it is $9500 owed to remove lien. they applied 12.5% as sibling tax rate. when i asked to apply 4.5% as surviving heir is grand daughter, they said in obituary they mention deceased had sibling. while foreclosure has no mention of sibling and only mention of gran daughter which is 4.5%2 questions:1. they are asking me to prove obituary is wrong and actually surviving heir is grand daughter. how i can find this information?
