Neither of us is in California, so obviously we are the best source for being impartial. Let's make this a hypothetical: There is a house worth $500K, and $1.5 million in cash. One kid gets the house, the others split the cash. Maybe the house is not worth exactly 25% of the distributable estate, but close enough considering who knows how soon it would sell and for what price.
Is this considered a sale by B,C and D of their 25% interest each in the house, to A? And meanwhile, there was $100K in dividends and capital gains before the cash was distributed. Do you split this three ways on the Schedules K-1, or four ways?
That's a good question. Probably doesn't depend on local law. But I think I'll pass. You'd have to pay me to figure that one out.
