Inheritance tax on rights of survivor property?
Property held as joint tenants with the right of survivorship is not a probate asset and therefore not subject to inheritance tax. To quote an article from the website in the link provided below:"Another great advantage of holding property as joint tenants is that no taxes need to be paid on the property. There are two types of taxes that are avoided by joint tenancy. The first is the federal estate tax, which taxes an entire estate if the estate is large enough (as of 2009, at least $3.5 million, and as of 2011, at least $1 million). Some states also impose a death tax, which is similar to the federal estate tax. Additionally, joint tenants also avoid inheritance taxes, which are different than estate and death taxes. Inheritance taxes are taxed to the person who receives property from an estate, while estate taxes are taxed to the estate before any inheritances are given."
