Hi aletadesmond,
Welcome to the forums.
Your uncle can quitclaim the property to you. But that will mean he is quitting all his claims from the property and he may also need to pay gift tax. So is he willing to go do that?
Thanks,
Larry |

Hi,
Welcome to Mortgagefit discussion board.
Your uncle has made the will and now if he quitclaims the property, he will have to pay gift tax and other taxes associated with it as Larry has mentioned above.
It is not that you will have to pay the inheritance. You can get exemptions also. To know more about you can go through this site- http://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/text/ot7txt.htm
Hope this will help you.
Do let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks
Blue
