The proceeds from the sale of an inherited house can be subject to capital gains tax, but the tax is typically calculated based on the difference between the sale price and the property's fair market value at the time of the original owner's death, known as the "step-up in basis." This means that if the house appreciates in value after the original owner's death, only the gain above the stepped-up basis is taxable. Additionally, depending on the amount of the gain, there may be exemptions or deductions available. It's advisable to consult a tax professional for specific guidance based on individual circumstances.

In South Dakota, if one sibling has liens that exceed their portion of the proceeds from the sale of inherited property, those liens can be addressed during the settlement of the estate. The proceeds from the sale can be used to pay off the liens before distribution among the siblings. If the liens amount to more than the sibling’s share, they may not receive any proceeds, but the remaining siblings will still receive their respective shares.
