Estate Taxes Still an Issue

With the federal estate tax beginning for estates in excess of $5.4 million, most families no longer concern themselves with avoiding the imposition of this tax.  However, Minnesota residences or non-residences with Minnesota property still face Minnesota taxes for estates that exceed $1.6 million.  Do not assume that estate planning is no longer necessary simply because of the size of the federal exemption. There are a number of planning opportunities for families to avoid or minimize Minnesota estate tax.
