Estate Tax Planning Historically speaking, the
federal estate tax is an excise tax levied on the
transfer of a person's assets after death. In
actuality, it is neither a death tax nor an
inheritance tax, but more accurately a transfer
tax. There are three distinct aspects to federal
estate taxes that comprise what is called the
Unified Transfer Tax Estate Taxes, Gift Taxes,

Probate Estate Administration Probate and
estate administration are the processes through
which estate assets are transferred after death.
Assets to be transferred under terms of a will go
through probate. Assets transferred outside of a
will, such as by operation of law, or those
planned for in a trust are handled through an
Administration process
