Estate Taxes  
Taxes are an important consideration in distributing your estate because the money your estate pays in taxes will not be available to your heirs. Each estate is allowed a federal estate tax exemption — an amount that can pass transfer-tax-free, either through lifetime gifts or at death. The 2010 Tax Relief Act reinstated the federal estate tax. Through 2012 only estates valued at more than $5 million (or $10 million for some married couples) may be subject to the federal estate tax. If upon your death the total value of your estate is less than the applicable exemption amount, no federal estate taxes will be due.

You can use this calculator to estimate the taxable value of your estate and the approximate amount of federal estate taxes that could be owed.
