FAQ
For estates still subject to current law, those with a net taxable value of $338,333 or less are effectively exempt from payment of the tax. A 6 percent tax rate applies to any net taxable value above that mark, up to $500,000. A 7 percent rate applies to any net taxable value over $500,000.
Transfer assets into a trust Because those assets don't legally belong to the person who set up the trust, they aren't subject to estate or inheritance taxes when that person passes away. Setting up a trust also has other financial benefits, such as helping the estate avoid probate.
Real Estate can be titled in survivorship to avoid Probate; bank accounts can be joint accounts or POD/TOD, which stands for Payable on death or Transfer on death; vehicles can have survivorship beneficiaries or a TOD designation.
Under current law, the estates of residents with a net tax able value of $338,333 or less are effectively exempt from the Ohio estate tax through a $13,900 credit. A 6 percent tax rate applies to any net taxable value above that mark, up to $500,000.

Ohio Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax There is no inheritance tax in Ohio. However, other states' inheritance tax may apply to you as an Ohio resident.
Inheritance tax doesn't apply to Ohio. Capital Gains Tax: The IRS applies capital gains tax based on a stepped-up basis. This tax applies only to the property's appreciation after inheritance.
In Ohio, probate can take anywhere from six months to over a year, depending on the complexity of the estate and whether disputes arise.
The solution to this problem is to convey such appreciating assets to an irrevocable trust that contains special instructions. Those instructions state that at your death the trust's assets will belong to your designated beneficiaries; therefore the assets will not be a part of your taxable estate when you die.
