My sister & I just found out today how much the estate tax is on our recently deceased father......ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS & OUTRAGEOUS!! It's like legal extorsion. It's no wonder that more & more people are leaving New York State....the highest taxed state on earth. My father worked his butt off 65 of his 78yrs. & it's just sickening to see what good old new york did to his estate. I left this state once before but returned to help my dad......After this I will leave again only this time I will never come back to this thieving,rotten,corrupt state ever again.......NEVER!!
