[WSBAPT] Wash Estate Tax - Credit Shelter Trust Wills

[Josh Grant]

I have a client with wills written in early 1990.  They are credit shelter wills.  Estates total about $4,00,000.  I have heard that the Washington  department of revenue, considers the full value as taxable to the surviving spouse, notwithstanding the federal estate tax would allow the second to die to be “sheltered” from taxing the 1st to die’s part that went into a credit shelter trust for the benefit of the surviving spouse.  Anyone have any details on this? Authority? Thanks
