You are considered a Minnesota resident for tax purposes if both apply: You spend at least 183 days in Minnesota during the year. Any part of a day counts as a full day. You or your spouse rent, own, maintain, or occupy an abode.
Transfer on Death Deed. For real estate, a transfer on death deed (TODD) that is filed with the county while the owner is alive acts to change ownership of property once they pass without going through probate.
Any estate value above this amount is subject to taxation. In Minnesota, the gross estate tax exemption is $3 million. Estates valued above this amount are subject to Minnesota estate taxes.
Another key difference: While there is no federal inheritance tax, there is a federal estate tax. The federal estate tax generally applies to assets over $13.61 million in 2024 and $13.99 million in 2025, and the federal estate tax rate ranges from 18% to 40%.
Some kinds of property and assets do not need to be probated. These include property owned as joint tenants, jointly held bank accounts, payable-on-death accounts, life insurance proceeds to a specific beneficiary, and pension benefits with a designated beneficiary in the event you die.
Your property will go to your spouse or closest relatives. If you have a spouse and children, the property will go to them by a set formula. If not, the property will descend in the following order: grandchildren, parents, brothers and sisters, or more distant relatives if there are no closer ones.
Avoiding the tax requires changing one's permanent home (domicile) to another state or reducing the amount of Minnesota property owned. Affluent individuals may be willing to change their domiciles to avoid paying potentially multimillion-dollar state estate tax liabilities.
If your personal property exceeds $75,000 or you own real estate in your name alone, your estate must be probated.
