In the United States, what is known as estate tax is imposed upon the taxable estate of a person when they die. A substantial amount of property can be left to someone tax free, so in a lot of circumstances, there is no estate tax to pay. In 2013, the personal allowance is $5.25 million. This amount is likely to increase over the years, as it's subject to inflation.
