Tax fight over late Timothy Finn estate questioned
The Iowa state treasurer moves to collect about 5100 from the collateral heirs of the late Timothy Finn of Winneshiek county. The estate, valued 74000 to 100000, appears to lack assets beyond a 1000 life policy, a few smaller sums, and notes. The state alleges a conspiracy to defraud collateral inheritance tax through a deed shifting real estate valued around 4000, seeking to set it aside and reach further assets when located. The matter will be heard in Winneshiek county courts.
