What Is the Meaning of Estate Tax?

Estate tax is levied on the full value of a deceased individual’s assets at their time of passing, including real estate, investments, business interests, and other property, as deemed by the IRS the "gross estate." Presti & Naegele assists you in comprehending what's included, understanding valuation processes, and reducing liabilities with strategic planning and precise filing in Los Angeles.

Our exhaustive estate tax service covers every element—from identifying taxable assets to calculating deductions and preparing federal estate tax returns. We work with executors, trustees, and family members to ensure a seamless and error-free process.

Do You Have to Pay Taxes on Money Given to You When Someone Dies?

Beneficiaries generally don't pay taxes on inherited assets, though exceptions exist. Certain payouts from tax-deferred retirement accounts may have tax implications. Also, the estate might be subject to federal and state taxes before distributions.

Presti & Naegele adds significant value. Our estate tax specialists clarify taxable matters, identify ways to minimize estate tax exposure, and manage the rigorous documentation required by the IRS and California state authorities. We help heirs receive their inheritance effortlessly, with minimal tax impact.
