: North Carolina Estate Planning BlogWashington State may double estate tax rate
By Greg Herman-Giddens
Yes, I know this is the North Carolina Estate Planning Blog, but in these troubled economic times, with most states, including NC, desperate for cash, this could be a sign of things to come here and elsewhere.
Washington currently has a $2 million estate tax exemption, with rates ranging from 10% to 19%. A bill was introduced in the state legislature on February 13 to double the rates (20% to 28%).
