Opinion On Inheritance Tax On Interest Here
An official opinion declares inheritance tax applies to gifts made within 30 days of death. A husband and wife transferred property to their son and daughter in law, with one grantor dying soon after. Tax would apply to one half of the property value, with one quarter taxed at lineal rates and one quarter at collateral rates. Local sources note several related cases have arisen in Frederick County.
