The Good News (For Most of Us)
Drumroll, please
Georgia, bless its sweet peach-loving soul, does not have an estate tax! That's right, folks. You can kick back, relax, and leave your collection of spoons (or, you know, your actual fortune) to your loved ones without the state taking a big ol' chunk out of it.
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.
But Wait, There's More (Because Taxes Love Party Crashing)
Now, before you go out and buy a celebratory vat of pecan pie filling, there's a teensy, weensy detail to consider: the federal estate tax. This party crasher applies to estates worth more than $13.61 million in 2024 (that's a lot of pecan pies). So, if your estate is rivaling Bill Gates's bank account, you might still owe some money to Uncle Sam.
Don't Panic (Yet)
There are ways to minimize your federal estate tax burden, like strategic gifting and trusts (but that's a whole other adventure for another day).
