Question

My father passed away last year and I had to pay for all of the property taxes on his home. Also legal fees I paid. Can I deduct this on my taxes?

If you itemize your deductions, you can deduct the property taxes as an itemized deduction, subject to the $10,000 limit for state and local taxes).  There is no deduction for legal fees.
