It depends on what year it is and whether they decedent has made any taxable gifts during his or her lifetime. Generally, if someone died in 2009, their estate is free of estate tax up to $3.5 million. In 2010, there is currently no estate tax at all, no matter what the size of the estate is. For 2011 and beyond, currently estates are taxable after the first $1 million.
