Study Notes

Gross Estate

The gross estate encompasses all assets and liabilities owned by a deceased individual at the time of their death.
This includes any property, monetary holdings, investments, real estate, and other valuable items.
The gross estate also includes any debts, taxes, and other financial obligations the deceased had outstanding at the time of death.

Net Estate

The net estate is calculated by subtracting all allowable deductions from the gross estate.
These deductions account for various expenses, debts, and other obligations legally subtracted from the total estate value.
Deductions might include funeral expenses, estate taxes, administrative expenses, and outstanding debts owed by the deceased.
The net estate represents the portion of the estate available for distribution to heirs or beneficiaries after settling all debts and expenses.
The difference between the gross estate and net estate is the total amount of deductions allowed by law.
