<p><font size="+1">Listmates:</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">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.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">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.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Does the estate bear any responsibility to the
foreign government for its tax on its own citizen?</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Thanks for your thoughts.</font></p>
