Mississippi probate attorney sells cotton plantation
September 7, 2009 9:59 am ReferenceFor over a hundred and twenty five years my family has been growing cotton in northern Mississippi during much of this time period my family has been dirt poor. But when my grand dad died last fall all of that changed for our family. What we didn’t realize was the appreciation in value of all the property we had. Our Mississippi probate attorney researched the approximate value of all the land we had and we discovered that we were going to owe the federal government over $2 million in estate tax. That is when we decided to sell our cotton plantation. The taxes were simply too much.
