I am currently working with the widow of a deceased homeowner and the situation is a bit complicated.

If it' isn't a garage and another widow could go there you might could re arrange the landscaping, and if money is plentiful after go grander with the dormer.No expert on design just a quick view thought...

Many older homes had unvented bathrooms or rely on a widow for ventilation (which will not get used in the colder months).  

My aunt (single, widow, retired) owns a 2 bed 2 bath condo in North York worth ~$300k CAD.

My elder investor (70+ widow) loved the layout and Schrock cupboards, my 30 something, new guy was sure there were a dozen racoons in the crawlspace and constantly yelled "dibbs!".

Because he knew that it is generally unwise for a widow or widower to make major decisions in the first year after the death of a spouse.

There is no need to avoid capital gains tax because she probably won't owe any capital gains tax.If a single person earns less than $37,450 per year (15% tax bracket or less), there is no captial gains tax due.If Married filing jointly/Qualifying widow or widower, the max income is $74,900 for this 15% tax bracket.

Hello....I'm a widow, who was able to buy an auction property with cash in the Bay Area a few yrs ago.

I'm not judging anyone, but the thought of low-balling a new widow to make a few extra bucks sounds awful to me.

Calling the numbers for associate housing finance one was a wrong number the second number was to the widow of a former employee of associates housing finance who would not give me any more information.
