Understanding the Maine Estate Tax
Maine's exemption is set at $7M, with progressive rates maxing out at 12%.
While the federal exemption sits at millions of dollars, Maine's lower threshold of $7,000,000 catches many families off guard. This is especially true when factoring in real estate values, retirement accounts, and life insurance death benefits.
If you are a resident of Maine, or own property here, it is highly recommended to consult an estate planning attorney to minimize your state tax burden.
