   It appears that the fee to establish the trust will be less than half of   
   the eventual probate costs--it's a fairly pricey house.  The trust seems   
   like a good idea in those terms--what I am concerned about is how the US   
   views the Canadian trust.  I would hate for this to either trigger an   
   immediate US capital gain for my mother, or somehow complicate my   
   eventual inheritance (and tax basis) of the house.   
      
   Thanks very much for your reply.
