On an estate tax return, all property that is included in the gross estate and passes to the surviving spouse is eligible for the marital deduction. The property must pass "outright." Since there is not limit to the amount that can be deducted, it is an unlimited marital deduction. For more information, see IRS Publication 950 at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p950.pdf

The marital deduction allows one spouse to transfer an unlimited amount of assets to the other spouse without incurring federal estate or gift taxes.

The amount eligible for the marital deduction is typically equal to the value of those assets.
