Jun 1, 2023 at 16:56 comment added quarague @Trish Yes, if you split the house in the inheritance. If there is more in the inheritance you could also distribute differentely, say the wife gets the house, the kids each get some stocks and cash. Everyone gets there respective share in value according to the value of the inheritance. If the wife sells the house, the sale price will be irrelevant. The question is whether you sell first and then split or split first and then sell.
Jun 1, 2023 at 14:37 comment added Trish For real estate sold later, it is typical that the land is owned by all heirs in parts and that the realized value of the sale then is distributed according to the parts they own. E.g. a wife and two children inherit, and due to how it is set up in the will the wife owns 50% and the children 25% each, then a sale of the land distributes the resulting money accordingly.
