It is possible that I may be expecting an inheritence of approx. $15 mil. How much am I going to owe in taxes? The money will come from overseas.

with proper tax planning utilizing the proper use of Trusts, you may be able to defeat the usual situation where the taxmen eat one-third to one-half of your windfall. the question requires a highly individualized answer. be prepared to give away money irrevocable to charities and live off the income, realizing the need to pay taxes only on income and not principle.

Good Luck
