The current tax code provides special benefits in this situation.When the original owner passes away, the "basis" of the assets resets to the market value at the date of death.In the US, there is currently an estate tax exemption of approximately $13 million per person, which allows the basis to reset, and depreciation can start anew.This “step-up in basis” is particularly useful if the next generation wants to sell the asset.Since their basis is set at market value, if the property is sold at that value either at the date of death or within six months, there is no capital gain and no taxable event.There have been many examples where portfolios of fully depreciated real estate worth tens of millions of dollars have been passed down from one generation to the next, resulting in little to no tax liabilities for their heirs.Pretty cool, right?
