How Your Estate Assets Would Be Liquidated By Tax Collectors
Most assets fall into one of these 3 categories; liquid, semi-liquid and non-liquid. Usually, as estates grow, they become less liquid, because non-liquid investments tend to grow more rapidly.
Most people think that estate expenses will take a slice out of all assets. However, what really happen is that all the liquidity is drawn out. If it is inadequate to satisfy the tax collector, semi-liquid assets have to be sold, and then non-liquid, regardless of the loss involved.
Usually, this means selling assets at a large discount. Because of these potential losses, the effective tax on an estate will be substantially more than the actual tax.
