Boo! Your Inheritance Might Get Hauntingly Small

This time of years conjures up a lot of spooky specters. In our local Urbana, Ohio office, we really do not see an estate pay the Federal Estate Tax. This is because the 2026 federal estate tax exemption is $15 million per individual. This means there is an estate tax for everything over $15 million. Most people do not have that size of estate, and if they did, a surviving spouse can use the deceased spouse’s $15 Million. This means a married couple needs to have more than $30 million dollars between them before they have to pay a liability.

At a time the Federal Government is in more than $40 Trillion dollars in debt and politicians on both sides of the aisle want to grow free money for all, there are many asking how much is too much for a dead person’s kids or charities to inherit?

In an October 18, 2026 interview with The New York Times, Scott Kirby the Ceo of United Airlines stated:

“We should have a national wealth tax — it won’t work by state because people will just move. And I think we should have inheritance taxes that get close to 100 percent at some level. I would pay them.”

According to different sources, Mr. Kirby brought in more than $32 million dollars in total compensation for the 2025 year. Let’s invite him to go ahead and cut the first check. He certainly is not an economist but he could be quite the donor.

The Costly Mistake

Without long term care insurance, you don’t have to sell your home or spend down everything you’ve saved. With the right plan, you can pay for in-home nurses or nursing home care and still leave something for your family.

After a long term care consultation, some couples leave to “look at all their options.” We know what those options are, and we know which one works best. Too often, people walk away from the best option, wait too long, and leave their families with a heavy burden.

Don’t wait. Plan now, while you still have choices.

Six Potential Issues with a TOD Affidavit in Ohio

A Transfer on Death (TOD) Affidavit can help Ohio homeowners avoid probate—but is it the right fit for your family?

1. Medicaid estate recovery claims
2. Disagreements over selling the property
3. Conflicts over the selling price
4. Disputes over property expenses
5. Disagreements over who gets to live there
6. Conflicts with your overall estate plan

Estate planning is about more than avoiding probate. It’s about making thoughtful decisions today to help bring clarity to your family’s tomorrow.

At Hughes Law, we believe your future deserves a plan built around your needs.

Attorney Hughes and his wife Mindy have three miniature horses. They are from left to right, Ruby, Rush and Rusty. Unfortunately a couple weeks ago, Dustin had a pinky finger mistook for a treat by Rusty. He thought his finger was a goner. Thankfully the finger is healing nicely. Man and beast reconciled quickly.

Sometimes, the others we love can accidentally harm us due to misunderstanding. Seek peace today with others.

The state has a default plan for your home. You’re not going to like it.

If you pass away with just a Will (or no plan at all), your house goes straight to probate court.

That means your family faces:

• $12,000+ in unnecessary legal fees.
• 12 to 18 months of frozen assets and court dates.
• Zero privacy—your estate becomes public record.

A Living Trust bypasses the court entirely. It hands the keys directly to your family, skipping the legal system completely.

We are thankful! This week we received a call from a daughter of a past client. Her parent recently passed, and we were excited to share that she and her sibling do not need to probate a home. This saves them $12-$ 14,000 in legal fees and a year’s worth of paperwork and visits to the law office or court.
