I get asked this quite often. The Basics — What Is a Stepped-Up Basis?
Did you know? When your loved ones inherit property after your passing, they typically receive a stepped-up basis — meaning the property's value is reset to its market value at the time of death.

✅ That means fewer capital gains taxes if they sell.

Example:

You bought your home for $100K

It's worth $400K when you pass

Your heirs only pay tax on gains above $400K if they sell

This is one of the most overlooked tax advantages in estate planning.
