In other words, estate tax applies to any assets you leave to your children, siblings, friends and even parents. Under current law, until 2008, everyone receives a $2 million federal estate tax exemption. This means that no estate tax is due on the first $2 million left regardless of recipient. There are some caveats, however, that make the application of this exemption more complicated than it sounds. For example, the $2 million includes any death benefits on life insurance owned by the decedent or where the decedent had any of several specific rights in connection with the policy.
