Buzzards and jackals are a better analogy than Dracula. They aren’t sucking the life out of a dead man’s estate, rather they are gorging themselves on the remains.
This makes me so angry. I don’t care how much money you have, you’ve already paid taxes to the hilt. Why should the Government get any more of it just because you died? Instead of looking for more ways to tax us they should be trying to give money back to us!
Oregon has to be at the top of the list or nearly so.

Of course, you can get a good look at early democrat fascists by watching, “The Thirteenth Warrior” based on the novel, “Eaters of the Dead”, by Michael Crichton. Excellent novel, and the movie isn't too bad either although it's not as good as the novel. It is, however, an excellent look at the lifestyle and beliefs of early democrat party activists.

Anyone with that many assets subject to probate are incredibly dumb.
This is why family farms incorporate, and everybody else with money forms trusts. Properties, vehicles, investments, anything of substantial value all go into the family trust. Trustees are also signatories and co-owners of safety deposit boxes and bank accounts that would otherwise be sealed.
And the trusts contain a clear chain of authority for powers of atty, limited powers of atty, medical and living wills, and significant asset sales for $1.
