Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Connecticut
Inheritance issues
I am a Canadian citizen with legal US resident status. My DH is an American. A friend told us that if my husband should die the kids and I could lose up to 65% of what he has left for us due to inheritance taxes. This same person said the only way to avoid this is to become an American citizen.
Is this true?

Re: Inheritance issues
It depends on the size of the estate. I'd need a lot more info.
