Is it possible to sell assets which have gone up substantially in value without paying capital gains or income taxes? Yes, by using a device known as a Charitable Remainder Trust. This type of device must be created and assets must be transferred into it before any documents are signed to sell the assets. This entire strategy can save your family substantial amounts, but must be done very carefully.
