Helping Make Sense of the Estate Tax Process

According to the IRS, estate tax is a “tax on your right to transfer property at your death. It consists of an accounting of everything you own or have certain interests in at the date of death.”

A major part of calculating estate tax is determining fair market value for the deceased’s (or soon-to-be-deceased’s) total possessions.

Assets may include:

• Cash and securities
• Real estate
• Insurance
• Trusts
• Annuities
• Business interests

Once you determine the fair market value of these assets, you can calculate your gross estate. At Beck Law Firm, we can help you make deductions to lower your tax liability and submit a suitable return to the IRS.
