$20 mill??? That sucks. In some siutations there isn’t the ability to discount that money, such as one time selling of a business, but usually if a person/family is willing to let go of some of the control over monies/property the taxes can be spared.
Yes, $20 million. It was an unexpected death but the family still had excellent tax palnning in place. There is just only so much one can do to avoid the death tax.
I understand the family still has plenty left but it is outrageous for the government to confiscate that much money just because someone died!
