The majority rule for inheritance is that any inheritance, unless specifically written otherwise, is non taxable. The wife will not have to pay inheritance tax when you die if her name is not on the deed.

Is the inheritance tax going to change in 2010?
I assume you mean the estate tax, not the inheritance tax. (There is a federal estate tax, but no federal inheritance tax.) The federal estate tax will be abolished in 2010. And (unless the law is changed) it will be reinstated in 2011 and the exclusion amount will drop from the $3.5 million in 2009 to $1 million in 2011. Note that this does not apply to state estate or inheritance taxes. Because of the craziness on the federal level, many states have been revising their estate taxes to decouple them from federal changes. ***Caution*** Before making any plans to die in 2010 in order to take advantage of the estate tax repeal, be aware that this situation is very fluid and the law could be changed.
Maximum amount estate to avoid inheritance tax?
Each year the maximum net worth of an estate to avoid the death tax changes. The death tax is being completely repealed just in the year 2010 so if you are planning to die, 2010 is when you should do it! Check with a family trust attorney to find out what the max amounts are for 2008 and 2009. In England and Wales, the answer is not so much a number, but how much planning has gone into ensuring that one's beneficiaries get the maximum amount that they could get while cutting out the tax man legally.
Why do you pay a gift tax when you receive a bonus from your employer?
It's not a "gift tax", because it's not really a "gift" legally speaking. You do pay income taxes on it, just as you would on any other income.There is such a thing as a gift tax, but it's usually paid by the person giving the gift, not the person who receives it. Yes, this applies even though the gift is presumably coming out of money on which income tax has already been paid. The purpose of the gift tax is mainly to keep rich people from doing an end run around an estate tax. If you die and leave Stately Wayne Manor to your son Bruce, there's (historically) going to be an estate tax due; the reason for the gift tax is so that you can't just hand Bruce the keys minutes before you die and say "it was a gift, not an inheritance, so no tax for you, Mr. Uncle Sam."
I was the beneficiery to my moms life insurance policy do i have to claim it on my taxes?
as far as im aware yes you do! a grandmother of a friend of mine sadly passed away a few years back, and left her house to my friends father. I believe he had to pay somewhere in the region of 40% inheritance tax which is ruthless!! a way around this is to have everything signed over before death (i know that this is obviously too late now), but maybe something to think about for the future... there is a time period tho, i think but im not sure that if you sign a possession over and die within 10 years then this is also taxable (but im not sure on the period of time) I hope that this helps and im sorry for your loss
How do you change the name of a checking account to a special needs trust written up as part of a revocable living trust?
You need to talk to the attorney that drew up your trust(s). If the special needs trust is contained with your living trust, then is it in existence now, or when you die? Check the terms. If it exists now, then there should be a name of the trust, a trustee and you should obtained a taxpayer id# from the IRS. Note that a transfer into the trust is probably a taxable gift. This is not a DIY project. Consult your attorney.
What happens when people listed on a deed die?
The deed will remain in their name until it is changed, usually by the next of kin.
If deed is in father name and his parents name both are deceased who is entitled to property?
It depends on what the deed says. If the deed is a right of survivorship, the property will go to the descendants of the last to die. If it is a joint ownership, the property could go to the beneficiaries of all three of the decedents.
If both parents die and a child is on the deed to their property does the child have to pay inheritance tax on this property?
No. If you owned the property in a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship their interest in the property "disappeared" at death and the property belongs to you alone.

If your husband executes the home mortgage in his name then executes a deed to himself and his wife what are the wife's rights and interests in the property?
The wife is now a co-owner of the property. It cannot be sold or mortgaged again without her signature. Hopefully, the deed from the husband conveyed the property to him and his wife as tenants by the entirety or as joint tenants with the right of survivorship. In that case if the husband should die then she would automatically become the sole owner of the property. However, the property would be subject to the mortgage until it is paid off. You should review the mortgage document to see if the bank must be notified of any change in ownership.
If husband inherits property with sister from parents should wife be put on husband's inheritance?
Once you are in possession of the inheritance, you need to legally define what portion belongs to you, when and how youwill receive it and how you will handle any contingencies placed on this inheritance by your parents. You should get a lawyer to create a document that is fair to both you and your sister. Your wife has no claim at this time to that property just because you are married. It belongs only to you, legally. You can name your wife as beneficiary to your "estate" A will is the best way to make known your intentions for distribution of whatever remains of that inheritance and any other assets you have. I would think you would want your wife to be the beneficiary of you estate (when you die) but you may also have others you want to include. All of this can be clearly stated in your will. If you don't have a will, in all likelihood the next of kin, being your wife, will get it all. There are always exceptions, but this is a time when you really need a lawyer to create a will for you. Remember too, that you can modify this document any time your situation changes. Just protect yourself and what you are entitled to receive. Don't assume anything. People get funny when there are assets to be had and to simply trust that you and your sister will be fair with each other is a mistake that might damage your relationship with her, and cause you both a lot of grief. Find a lawyer asap and talk with him about all of this. And take his advice! Inheritance takes affect when you die. As long and you are living, your wife has no legal right to any of it. It is not considered community property. If, for example, you were to divorce, she would not be entitled to any part of that inheritance and it would not be factored into any distribution of marital assets. Spend it all on your wife, if you want to, but there is no reason she should have legal ownership.
Should you add your new wife to the title of a house you bought before you got married she does not pay any of the mortgage?
Well, who do you want to get your property if you die unexpectedly? If she is not on the deed then you should make certain you execute a will if you want the property to be hers if you die. Otherwise title will pass according to the laws of intestacy of your state and your wife may not inherit all the interest in the property.
