Estate Planning Mistakes - Number Eight


How do you want the death taxes to be paid on your estate? If you are not clear in your Will, there could be unintended tax consequences.

For example, if your Will is silent on how death taxes are paid, your beneficiaries could have to sell assets to pay the taxes due at your death. If the Will provides that all death taxes are paid out of your estate, this could affect some heirs differently by reducing their inheritance.
