Who Is Responsible for Estate Taxes?

A person's estate is responsible for paying all applicable taxes, including both state and federal estate taxes. The amount of those taxes can vary dramatically depending on a number of factors, including how much the estate is worth and where the assets are held, as each state has its own tax laws. Both New York and Connecticut are among the states that collect a state estate tax, so it is important to account for this when creating an estate plan.
