Florida lightens load on heirs
Article Abstract:
A highly competent and motivated team of tax law administrators at the Florida Revenue Dept has made it considerably easier for the heirs of Florida residents' estates to untangle the financial details involved in estate taxes. These Revenue Dept employees drafted laws so that estates with less than $675,000 in assets no longer have to file estate taxes, while the heirs of estates with more than $675,000 in assets need to wait only an average of 15 days instead of six months after filing taxes to get the certificates they require to divide or sell property.
