you really shouldn't use this will and should consult with tax professionals and an attorney. Before using this Will, it may be helpful to determine the value ofederal estate tax. As your estate approaches $2,000,000 in value and exceeds that amount, the greater your need for professional estate tax planning advice. If your assets come near the $2,000,000 leal's estate. For a person dying from 2006 to 2008, that credit is $2,000,000. The credit is available to each individual and his or her spouse.
