Colorado does not have a separate state estate tax, but federal estate tax may still apply depending on the total value of your estate. Federal estate tax is imposed only on very large estates, currently over $12.92 million as of 2023. Estate planning in Colorado often involves measures to efficiently manage estate taxes and take advantage of the lack of state-level taxation. Utilizing trusts and other planning tools can help in minimizing the estate's exposure to taxes, ensuring that a greater portion of the estate is preserved for beneficiaries. Always consider discussing complex tax planning strategies with a qualified financial advisor.
