Suggest you talk to an attorney who handles Federal/MD taxation and probate matters. Information will need to be assembled and carefully reviewed for a proper analysis. An experienced tax and estate attorney in MD should be able to handle this type of matter and to protect the interests of the client. Please note that, in accordance with the MD Code of Professional Responsibility for Attorneys, a signed engagement letter is necessary in order to engage my legal services. If I can be of any help to you or people you know, contact me as I would be pleased to provide tax/legal support.

Sincerely,
