Answer 1/1 - Submitted 7/4/2009

There are a couple of ways. The best way of course would be for her gram to sign the property over before she dies.

However If the property is not over 12,000 then there will be no tax liability. If its more and she is married then she can split that between her and her husband, for example.

the house is 24000, she can get 12000 and her husband 12000, or even divide it up between her and her sister.

Hope this helps.
