Big projects and changes in the operations of government are always sought by new presidents with in their first one hundred days in office. President Biden is no exception to this trend.
     However, one of the areas of change proposed by the new administration is estate taxation. Under current law, most citizensâ estates in the United States would be well under the exemption allowed of $11,700,000. For those whose estates exceed this exemption amount, the rate at which their estate value is taxed is 40%. The current law is set to âsunsetâ after 2025 and the exemption would be returned to $5.5 million which would subject many more estates to taxation.
