How can my brother divide the proceeds 3 ways and how about the about taxes and reporting to IRS?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Your brother owns the house, the title company will report to IRS the sale of the house in your brother's Social Security number. The sale is probably at a loss (basis is fair market value on the date of your mother's death; if that was a year ago or less then sale price establishes FMV, subtract certain costs and realtor fees and you have a loss). Brother can show on his return the total sale and nominee out the two thirds to the other two of you. That may work. If it doesn't, then brother takes the whole loss and should report gifts to you and the other sibling

How do I leave the house to my daughters?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
You should make a will leaving the house to your daughters (and making dispositions of your other property). They will have to pay the loan and any subsidy, if by its terms it is repayable after you pass away.
