Find original purchase price of property w no deed of sale?
I was gifted a house by my father and am unfortunately not in contact with him. I have no deed of sale and no idea how much he originally paid for the house. This info is imoprtant because I may wish to sell the house and need to know what his (which is also my) cost basis is/was. I did go to the county recorder's office and get the "document transfer tax." Is this all I need to determine how much he bought the house for?
