Generally, inheritance taxes are paid by the estate. However, under present federal tax laws estates under $2M are not taxed. There may be state inheritance tax consequences but those limits are also high and if taxes are due they are paid by the estate.
Inheritance taxes and property taxes are entirely separate issues. Regardless of whether or not we agree with taxes you still have to abide by them. I personally don't agree with the scope of inheritance taxes, however the government considers an inheritance taxable income.
Not federal, states however establish laws concerning such taxes. The interested person(s) might wish to contact the clerk of the probate court in the city or county where the deceased lived for specific information.
Depending on where someone lives depends on the need to pay taxes on any inheritance they get from a living trust. The beneficiary of an estate from inheritance will need to pay taxes to take possession of assets.
As far as Federal income taxes are concerned, inheritance is not taxed on your 1040 return. The Estate itself may be required to file an Estate Tax Return and possibly pay Estate Taxes depending on the total value of the estate in total and the line of inheritance. As far as State taxes in Texas, I am not familiar with that but I doubt very seriously if any income tax is due on a State basis either.

South Carolina does not have an inheritance tax, so the answer is 'zero'. But if the person leaving you an inheritance had this money in another State or nation and was subject to taxation there, that other state or nation may impose inheritance tax if it has it. US Federal taxes will only apply for estates worth well over $ 5 million.

Yes, of course. But there are no taxes on inheritance and real-estate.
Estates pay taxes on income and may have to pay inheritance taxes.
