What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Aunt died in 2009 with $4 million in properties. Prior to death, aunt signed deeds giving properties to her sister. Deeds not recorded until after aunt's death. Aunt's will said share properties with all siblings, not just the one sister. Court trial happened and properties given to the estate in 2014. Is Federal estate tax still based on 2009 or date properties placed into the estate? Thanks.
