No, you are not required to reinvest the money from the sale of a house. However, if you want to avoid capital gains taxes, you may consider reinvesting in another property through a 1031 exchange, which allows you to defer taxes on the gain. Otherwise, you can use the proceeds for any purpose you choose.
Some reasons not to do a 1031 exchange include the strict time constraints, potential difficulty in finding a suitable replacement property, and the requirement to reinvest all proceeds from the sale.
One way to offset capital gains from the sale of a business is to reinvest the proceeds into another business or investment within a certain time frame, known as a like-kind exchange or 1031 exchange. This can help defer or reduce the taxes owed on the capital gains.

You do not have the option of not paying off the home equity mortgage when you sell your home. The buyer's attorney has the legal obligation of clearing any liens on the property prior to the buyer taking title. Any unpaid mortgages will be paid from the proceeds of the sale before the net proceeds are paid over to you. If you owe more than the selling price that will impact the sale and must be resolved before the sale can take place.

There was an option to reinvest proceeds from the sale of a home into a new home in order to avoid capital gains taxes. That option was repealed in 1997 and replaced by the current $250,000/$500,000 exclusion. There is no other option to avoid capital gains taxes by reinvesting. Perhaps you are thinking of the Section 1031 exchange that lets you trade one income-producing or business property for a similar property.

When a home held in a family trust is sold, the sale proceeds are typically distributed according to the terms of the trust rather than being treated as personal assets of the beneficiaries. The trustee manages the transaction, ensuring that all legal and tax obligations are met. Additionally, the sale does not trigger capital gains taxes for the beneficiaries as long as the trust is structured properly. Ultimately, the trust continues to operate, holding any remaining assets or proceeds from the sale.
