Estate Tax Battle Over London Millionaire's Heirloom Fortune
The estate of George Smith, the hermit millionaire who died in London last fall, faces inheritance taxes in Britain, New York, and the U S government. New York State has collected nearly two million from James H. Smith, chief heir, as the tax on a fortune valued in the tens of millions. Keith of Middletown is cited as a lesser heir. Smith built wealth in Chicago real estate and helped form early railroad and insurance ventures before living reclusively in London. The British levy stands near £950,000, about $4.7 million, with U S and state taxes pending court rulings and payment timing depending on constitutional questions.
