Avoid federal income and estate taxes with the latest "trend" - the foreign offshore estate. US (domestic) estates - even with the repeal of the federal estate tax after 2010 - will still be subjected to Federal income and gift taxes, as well as State income, inheritance and estate taxes too! See page 254 of this edition.
