Lifted (June 15, 2004)

and agency heads: "On May 7, I sent a memo asking that you not create

we face in managing the state budget."

What
is the Estate Tax?
The federal estate tax is a tax on the transfer
of large amounts of money. When someone dies, his or her assets
(the person's estate) are distributed to heirs. If the total value
of the estate is large enough, an estate tax is imposed before the
assets are distributed.
