A: There are a lot of things to take into consideration. First is the authority to sell. If she is the only person on title, she will need to assign you power of attorney to sell on her behalf. She could also transfer the property to you through a deed. Second, there may be additional taxes if either of you are not citizens of the United States. Last, you need to make sure you list the property with a real estate brokerage that can handle a complex situation like AREA - Attorney Real Estate Associates, LLC.
