But Yes, I'll shelter as much as possible.You know what they say: Death and Taxes.

In CA you only have to disclose deaths for 3 years, but they disclosed anyway because they were smart (you could easily Google the address and find details of the murder, so yeah it was a smart move on their part). 

Unfortunately, there is no additional step-up to FMV in 2015.I am making several assumptions here, including that the trust was "revocable" during your father's lifetime but became "irrevocable" at his death, and that after he died, the property was “includable in his gross estate”. 

Not only that but the carrying costs of utilities, pool guy, gardener etc... were taking its toll on the family.

Meaning, in case of death, she can sell the property.

But they don't have nearly the gun deaths.

Since Michael has a toll-free line, he sees the number anyway, whether they mention it or not.

I knew there was more to LLing than just collecting rents.

., the real estate market tanking, family deaths & serious illnesses, culminating in my own cancer diagnosis in 2010 (not playing the sympathy card, just explaining my circumstances).

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve.Give notice of the sub-2 and have the buyer obtain a new policy, before any lender goes the due on sale route they will give a notice to cure, if you can't do it then fix it then.If you are scared to death of the due on sale, don't do a sub-2, use a contract for deed if that is allowed in your state.
