Whether to leave assets to US citizen or G4 visa holder
My father in law has an estate in VA worth about $500K and would like to leave it to the relative with the least tax impact.
He and his wife are GC holders and his wife does not live in the US. She is also not interested in the estate. My wife and I are G4 visa holders, while our children are US citizens (minors). We all live in VA.
He would like to know whether residency/citizen status has a US tax implication. If not, his preference is to leave the estate to my wife. And if it does, he would like to leave it to our children.
Please kindly advise. Thank you.
