Gifts of Real Estate
Gifts of appreciated real estate can confer significant tax benefits on the donor, particularly if returns from the property are modest compared to the capital gains tax that would be levied if the property were sold. Donors of appreciated real estate may be able to deduct the full market value of the property.

Gifts of real estate are subject to various legal regulations. For more information, please contact Renee M. Shaw, Executive Director of Development, at 814.248.3865 or rshaw@mccort.org.
