Hello! I am a non US Citizen or resident who had a sister that bought
a property in the city of Cape Coral Florida. Unfortunately, my sister
passed away 3 years ago and my brothers and I received her
inheritance. However In her will there was no mention of this
property, but we know of it because we have received bills and
information about this place. We would like to know How can we claim
this property? How much taxes do we need to pay ,if any? Who do we
need to pay it to?
We do know that there is an agreement between our Country ( Venezuela)
and the USA that doesn't allow  Venezuelan citizens to pay taxes on
property inherited by an alien. Can you please answer  these questions
for me?
Thank you
E. Callahan

The will must be probated in Florida, which is where the real estate
is located.  You need to engage a FLorida attorney to do this.  If the
will ahs already been probated in Venezuela, an exemplified copy can
be porabted in Florida.  There is a treaty between the US and
Venezuela which will prevent double taxation, but if the value of the
property exceeds the exemption, an estate tax will have to be paid.
