l For tax purposes,quit claim made out same day as will and later recorded. Made out to grantor and grantees. Upon death, is it considereda gift or an inheritance? or part of both? Grantor continued to pay taxes and receive income from rent. This is vacant land. It was the only thing that was probated.

Hi Chummy,

Welcome to Mortgagefit forum.

As the quit claim deed has been made out the grantee already owns the land.

Was the deed made to include the grantee as a co-owner or to give outright ownership to him?

Chummy, what value did grantor receive to transfer ownership of land? If this value is less than its current market value then it is considered as a gift. The grantor then has to pay gift taxes if the value of the gift exceeds the allowed gift tax exemption limit.
