I am a widow and have since retired, with no retirement anymore.

There is a elderly widow moving out of our neighborhood that is close to our family.

My realtor is selling  a trashed out home that’s owned by a widower in their 80s, they are already behind one month on the payment and will more then likely be looking at 2 months shortly.  

She was in her 70s, widowed, and had been quietly falling behind for about a year after some medical issues.

Calling the numbers for associate housing finance one was a wrong number the second number was to the widow of a former employee of associates housing finance who would not give me any more information.

I am also a widower, their mother passed away in a car accident in 2023.My goal is to scale my real estate investing to the point where I do not need a w-2 and can focus all my time and attention on loving and caring for my daugthers.My mentor has been incredible.

We'll be staying temporarily — and rent-free — with a family friend who was recently widowed, giving us some time to get settled while we find a home.Currently, we're tied up with our duplex in CT (FHA loan, both of us on the title).

It seems the seller was a widow who had taken title to property with her husband to Florida property several years earlier. 

I know older women in their 70s who had to go back to work because their widow benefits from Social Security and pension from deceased husband wasn't enough to live in with high costs now - they didn't have the benefit the internet and networking to become financially savvy when they were young. 

Recently my friend's husband died unexpectedly in late 2020 leaving her as the sole trustee and beneficiary.Question:  Because the property was held as community property through a trust, does my friend (the widower) get a full step up in US/CA tax basis to fair market value as valued on the date of his death?
