lol, thank you...you said it better then me...it keeps on getting garbled when I try to say things. My grandad's estate was worth over 1m because he was a successful doctor and had his own practice and a house in an area that was rapidly growing. After Dad inherited the house and Uncle Max inherited the practice there was nothing left at all. I dont know how it is in other states, but MD has a lower exclusion than alot of other states.

And I dunno...its not really fair that it got taxed while he was alive and then taxed again.

and there, I have said my piece....It may be different in other states, but at least that is how it is here.
