Overview

Keeping the home does not erase the value of good basis records. A future sale, a later refinance conversation, or fairness among relatives can all depend on documentation created close to the date of death. Ask a CPA what to retain even if no sale is planned this year.

What to keep in mind

  • Keeping the home does not remove the need for basis records
  • Today’s valuation file can matter years later
  • Ask a CPA what to keep even if you are not selling yet
