13 October 2010 Recently one of my relative expired by committing suicide due to financial crisis. He had sold his property and the entire amount was utilised for clearing the debts with private money lenders. His wife is now left with a small amount which is not even 20% of the sale proceeds. Now my question is whether the legal heirs are liable for Capital gain tax. And as there is very little money left is there any facility for an appeal. The wife is housewife and does not have any income. Two children are young and still studying. I shall be grateful if someone could assist me in this regard.
