I recently found out that years & years ago someone from my family set up a bank account in England for future generations to use the money to start a business (I live in Australia) and i want to find out all about it, I don't know anything at all, not even the bank name the only thing i know is the family name the account would be under. My family have no idea either & they are completely useless (sounds harsh, you don't know them!!). where would i even begin to start to find out some information????

I greatly rounded these numbers, but the answer will be the same for my situation. If I paid $100,000 for the home, I don't know if I'd pay capital gains of 5% or 15%. I've owned the home for fifteen years.

I understand the $250,000 deduction.
