My sympathies to you on your loss, xsmommy. My own interest in the topic was focused by the same occurrence, coincidently in December too.

sympathies back to you, then, dukie. never having had this experience before, i had no idea that inheritance taxes did not exist in all states. my father did a living trust, so we avoided most of the tax, but still the process is laborious.
