Introduction. An inheritance tax is a state tax that you pay when you receive money or property from the estate of a deceased person. Unlike the federal estate tax, the beneficiary of the property is responsible for paying the tax, not the estate.However, as of 2014, only eight states impose an inheritance tax.he tax amount is calculated separately for each individual beneficiary, and the beneficiary must pay the tax. For example, a state may charge a 5 percent tax on all inheritances larger than $2 million. Therefore, if your friend leaves you $5 million in his will, you only pay tax on $3 million, which is $150,000.
Recent data released by the American Association of Trial Lawyers shows that 81 percent of all divorce cases in the last year used some form of evidence from a social media site when presenting their case.
The divorce rate is an alarming 51%, meaning one out of every two marriages ends in divorce. Of those divorces, nearly 80% cited financial problems as the leading cause of the marital demise, (Carr, 2003, p.10).esearch also supports that that second marriages are less idealized, more complex, and suffer more resistance to becoming 'we', (Stanley and Kurdex, 2005, p.3.) Such factors increase support the well known fact that money is often the root of marital problems.
