Hi. I recently inherited some money from a home which my mother sold as part of our inheritance (4) children. The problem is that the property is located in Puerto rico and my mother has just informed me that her lawyer said we will not be able to claim the money until this coming year tax return (2006). I do not see how that can be legal. I believed if it is inheritance money and my mother has already paid the property taxes on the home when she sold it why should I and my other brothers have to file this inheritance money with out next tax returns. Is this legal? How can I go about this a smooth and none confrontational court matter? Thanks
