Denver Estate and Death Taxes Attorney

Colorado is one of the few states that does not impose a separate state-level estate tax in addition to the federal estate tax. However, if you own property or live in a state other than Colorado, you should speak with a Denver estate and death taxes attorney to determine if your estate could be subject to state estate taxes.

What Are State Estate Taxes?

A number of states impose separate estate taxes on the personal property of a decedent who lived within that state. These taxes are paid by the estate and may be higher or lower depending on the size of the estate and who receives the property. For example, the property received by a child may incur lower taxes than property left to a non-relative. Additionally, some states have inheritance taxes, which are paid by the recipient of the property. Like death taxes, the rates may vary based on who receives the property.
