Taxes levied on the sucessions due or inheritance of a decedent's estate. They are variously called "inheritance taxes," "collateral inheritance taxes," "transfer taxes," and perhaps other names. The local statutes imposing them determine the modes for their collection, and the persons or properties liable.
