My wife's mother passed, and left my wife her condo. What type of court proceedings are necassary to complete the property transfer? Can any of the paperwork be done in the U.S., and will a lawyer be needed?

It would probably be cheaper to have a lawyer in Poland. But I think you'll have to pay about 40% (!) as tax to the Polish government if you inherit a property.

Not really.

Looks like for close relatives like children there is no tax but you have to inform the local tax office within a month.

Your wife shall not pay any tax only if she inform about this fact the Revenue office in one month since the court have taken a decision concerning this property.

Above derives from Act of Tax on inheritance and donation ( if my translation is correct )
