What are the tax implications of the sale of land attached to a primary residence?
The tax implications of selling land attached to a primary residence depend on factors such as how long the land was owned, the amount of profit made from the sale, and if it was used for personal or business purposes. In general, if the land was used for personal purposes and was owned for more than two years, the profit may be exempt from capital gains tax up to a certain limit. However, if the land was used for business purposes or owned for a short period, capital gains tax may apply. It is advisable to consult with a tax professional for specific advice.

How much land can be included when selling a house to not pay capital gains tax?
You just have to be careful and not get carried away with this land amount that will be a part of the sale of your home (primary residence) that would be free of income tax for the exclusion amount in the year 2010. The home sale exclusion may include gain from the sale of vacant land that has been used as part of the residence, if the land sale occurs within two years before or after the sale of the residence. Taxpayers need not allocate gain between business and residential use if the business use occurred within the same dwelling unit as the residential use. They must pay tax on the gain equal to the total depreciation they took after May 6, 1997, but may exclude any additional gain on the residence, up to the maximum amount. If the business use property was separate from the dwelling unit, they would allocate the gain and be able to exclude only the gain on the residential unit.

You should consult with an attorney, perhaps the attorney who is handling the estate.
Can a cosigner of a mortgage who is not on the deed legally become the primary owner without notifying the primary owner?
The only way to become the owner of real property is by deed or by inheritance. A person cannot make themselves the owner. They must acquire ownership via a deed from the legal owner. If you co-signed a mortgage for land you do not own then you are simply a volunteer who agreed to pay the mortgage on land you do not own. That doesn't give you any ownership interest in the property. If you are a co-owner of the property who also co-signed a mortgage, you cannot make yourself the "primary" owner of the property. You would need a deed from the other co-owner.

What are the disadvantages of cosigning on a mortgage?
If the primary borrower defaults the cosigner can get "stuck" with a huge debt and ruined credit. A cosigner has the same legal obligation to repay a loan as does the primary borrower. In addition, a cosigner does not have property owner rights, only the debt. The real question is why would anyone agree to pay a mortgage for land they do not own. A co-signer has an equal obligation to pay the mortgage.
