"How can I inherit my parents' assets and pay less in taxes?" is a question I'm hearing a lot these days. With rising real estate prices and tax law changes increasing the burden of inheritance tax, it can be devastating for families if they don't plan ahead.
In fact, one family I know had the unfortunate experience of receiving an inheritance without any preparation and having to sell their property at a fire sale because they ended up paying much more in taxes than they had anticipated. Other families who planned ahead were able to cut their tax burden by more than half and had a smooth transfer of assets with no family conflict.
