re: #568 Aceofwhat?


Your parents can choose to die without a large estate, however, unless they’re very unlucky. As I said, there’s lots of mechanisms to transfer wealth. But aside from that, your argument is based on one of a feeling that this transaction is more private than others. I am sensitive to the cultural and psychological importance of inheritance— especially since if I don’t finesse things right, I’ll have to sell the family home when my parents die to pay the tax on it— but the reading of wills and the enforcement of fair distribution of property is a very grave and definite responsibility of the government. Huge amounts of court time and cost is spent overseeing the distribution of estates.
