Investment Property ownership transfer

haoba

Let's say A bought investment property at 500k, 10 year later, that property worth 800k, but A dies, will A's partner (wife) automatically own that investment property? If so, are there any capital gain A's partner need to pay at that time?

在老公没有遗嘱和老婆不是凶手的情况下
老婆是丈夫财产的第一继承人
但是丈夫名下所有的不动产都不是直接过户给老婆的啊
老婆得自己或者请律师办理房产过户手续

律师会办理投资房产过户到妻子名下。这种情况没有Stamp duty和capital gain的问题。如果之后妻子卖掉投资房产，就要交capital gain tax。房产Cost按$500K算,如果投资房是1985后买入的。如果是1985前买入的，cost 按照A过世那天的房产市值算。

what happen if the A's investment property has mortgage, at the time of the transfer of A's investment property to A's wife, A's wife doesn't have any income, will the bank allow the transfer of the investment property to A's wife or A's wife has to sell the property?

这个是关于estate trust的问题，看丈夫的will， 如果通过will把另外一半的产权给了wife，在不出售给第三方的前提下不设计capital gain tax
