When one spouse buys the other's share of a house, in a divorce, does the buyer get a stepped up basis?
Assets were split up - rather than sell on the open market - spouses negotiate a generous buy out. They bought the house a couple years before the marriage as partners. It was not negotiated as part of a seperation of assets, but as purchase.
