<p class="MsoNormal">I’m meeting with a potential client. She is the named PR in parent’s will. Estate passes to all but one sibling. This sibling was excluded because of some benefit to be received that wasn’t and all other siblings want to divide estate
among all siblings. Each share will be several hundred thousand dollars, but estate will be under WA State Estate Tax limit. I suppose each sibling could gift to the excluded sibling and file Federal Gift Tax Returns. With the current federal exclusion
amounts not likely to be an issue using some of the existing credit, but who knows what the future will bring. Has anyone a more creative solution they’ve used? Have excluded sibling file a creditor’s claim that is approved by the PR with non-intervention
powers? (I would have other siblings consent in writing). TEDRA? Thank you. <o:p>
