We Address Both State And Federal Estate Taxes
When a person dies, the state and federal governments impose taxes on that individual’s estate. These are referred to as estate taxes. Depending on the size of the estate and the circumstances surrounding the estate, an estate tax could seriously impact the amount that a beneficiary receives.
You may be required to file an estate tax return within nine months after the decedent’s date of death if you meet the following filing requirements in New York:
- You are a resident of the state at the time of death.
- The total of the federal gross estate, the federal adjusted taxable gifts and specific exemptions exceed approximately $6 million.
- You are not a resident of New York but own property that is located in this state, and your estate includes real or tangible personal property that exceeds approximately $6 million.
We are adept at creating estate plans that include tax strategies for wealth transfer and for the protection of your lifetime of investments.
