Estate Taxes

 

An estate tax is a tax on your right to transfer property (assets) at your death. The property includes cash, securities, real estate, insurance, trusts, annuities, business interests and other assets. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will want a complete accounting of everything you own or have certain interests in at the time of your death. The IRS recommends hiring a tax attorney to determine the amount of estate taxes you owe. Our Denver tax attorney is highly accomplished and qualified at safeguarding your assets and your legacy.
