What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

State estate tax rules vary widely across different states, which can create financial planning risks for clients with assets in multiple locations. For instance, New York's estate tax cliff begins at $7.35 million for 2026, while Oregon's exemption is set at $1 million.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

State estate taxes can apply at much lower asset levels than the federal exemption of $15 million per person. Determining legal domicile is a major consideration, as state estate taxes are often based on where a client intends to be.
