[WSBAPT] Foreign inheritance taxes

[John Wickham]

Listmates:

Hypo: in a Washington probate, the Will contains a specific bequest to a 
citizen of a foreign country, who resides in that foreign country, of a 
modest piece of Washington real property.

That foreign country will assess a stiff inheritance tax when the 
citizen receives the bequest, whether it is still real property or 
whether the PR sells it and sends the net proceeds.

Does the estate bear any responsibility to the foreign government for 
its tax on its own citizen?

Thanks for your thoughts.

John
