Reporting an Inherited-Home Sale With Little or No Gain

Selling an inherited Oklahoma home for little or no gain does not, by itself, settle whether the sale must be reported.

First determine whether the seller was the estate or an individual heir.

Mold at PCS Delivery: Protect Your Tinker-Area Home

If you discover suspected mold in a government-arranged PCS shipment during delivery, stop the move and contact the transportation office, quality-assurance representative and move coordinator immediately. If it appears after the movers leave, stop unpacking the affected shipment and seek instructions promptly. Do not treat it as an ordinary cosmetic damage note or start cleaning everything before the responsible office can respond.

Have a qualified Oklahoma water-well professional evaluate uncertain conditions before your inspection deadline.
