[John J. Sullivan]

This assumes the beneficiary does not reside in a state that imposes an inheritance tax rather than an estate tax.

For the purpose of income tax on the brother’s probate estate, is the distribution from the sister’s estate taxable income?   As it would not be taxable to the brother had he been alive, I assume the result is the same but need to verify.
