We\u2019d all like inheriting to be something positive in our life. However, it can often be very stressful<\/strong>. It should be rather straightforward process, but the house to be inherited could have outstanding debts<\/strong> or the heirs simply mightn\u2019t have enough money to pay the taxes.

Why are inheritances frustrating?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inheritances can be good news<\/strong> because you can come into houses in very good condition (with a certificate of habitability<\/a>) that can, in turn, lead to earning a passive income<\/strong>. Nevertheless, even if you inherit a property that\u2019s worth a lot of money; you mightn\u2019t have enough money to pay the taxes on it. What can you do in such cases? Is there a solution?

Do you have to pay taxes when you inherit a house or are given one as a gift?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before looking at it in greater depth, you should be aware that inheriting a house<\/strong> is not the same as being gifted a house. Inheriting a property means that the owner has passed away and has left their property to someone else in their will. On the other hand, gifting a home means that ownership of the property is transferred <\/strong>to someone else during their lifetime. The latter is usually done because there are less taxes to be paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount to be paid depends on the autonomous community<\/strong> in which the property to be inherited is located and the money must be paid wherever the transferor resides. Inter vivos gifts, on the other hand, are payable wherever the property is located<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inter vivos gifts are becoming more widespread<\/strong> because they\u2019re more flexible. For example, you can transfer the ownership of a property to another person, being awarded the right of usufruct. However, if any setback occurs, the inter vivos gifts can be revoked<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
