Our gov. Does the same thing , guy I knows parents passed away left him property they bought way back when , paid almost nothing for it now it’s worth like a million, government wants capital gains on it , he wants to keep it but don’t know if he can afford it , sad been in his family for like 80 years.

I agree guys but there are ways around it. When you get into your later years you give the big stuff to your kids on paper at least and if you have a lot of money invested start giving your kids some of it. Keep enough so you can live comfortable and go on trips etc. If you keep your assets below 100,000 at least on paper then there won't be any probates. What the government doesn't know won't hurt them.
