1)give away to children sooner (annual gift, fund grand children's 529 etc.). Note WA has no gift tax. That means supposely in addition to the annual $17k annual gift allowance, you can give away more money (millions) free of any gift tax.
If gifting to an irrevocable trust you have the potential to grow these gifts income tax free and transfer the to the next generation tax free.
2) relocate to other states. (WA has no claw back provisions to make you pay the estate tax after you move - Not sure if this will change in the future though.)
3) you can live in WA but establish a trust in other states that has more appealing trust laws (South Dakata, Delaware, NV, TN and NH and ??). Assests placed in trust in those states have the benefits of no state income taxes. A trust is governed by the state law where it is domiciled.
OR 居然只有1米可以免税。 还有几个州华人不多就不提了。
绝对不会在WA和MA买房子，以免被州税务局钉上。WA最近还修法了，对CAPITAL GAIN超过250K的开始征税。在WA的超级富豪和很多公司老板开始撤出了
2023 ESTATE TAX EXEMPTION 12.92 m /PERSON.
争取死的时候就2M，实在花不完就让孩子们交吧，不就10%嘛
加州有讨论要恢复遗产税，但是需要全民投票，现在还没有通过。
现在加州没有遗产税，也没有继承税。
搬到其它无遗产税的州负面效果马上就有的，我这种模式房产模式的重新开始需要时间熟悉与建立，可能马上少了很多的收入/财富增加，例如每年50万到一百万；其次是万一那个州又开征收遗产税怎么办？
地主们还是自己多花吧
俺家领导不止一次地跟我说，别整天泡投坛
其实我泡也是白泡
小三、几个私生子的话，任你怎么都花不了多少钱。除非买几百万一个手饰、或者艺术品、奢侈品、收藏品，但那些都不是我们老两口的兴趣。天天旅游、来回头等仓、住5星酒店能花很多吗? 再说你天天旅游舒服吗？更不用说是否健康了。
没必要去操心什么遗产税，贱卖的遗产房都不止10%
