The federal estate tax return is often not mentioned to the client in the course of a probate attorney’s representation of an executor or administrator of a decedent’s estate. Given such factors as the looming sunset of the current gift and estate tax exemption, the opportunity for portability of a married decedent’s unused exclusion to a surviving spouse, and negative consequences that can result from failing to file a federal estate tax return, this presentation offers some steps for the probate attorney to consider when deciding whether to include a discussion of the federal estate tax return when representing an executor or administrator of a decedent's estate.
