Both the Federal and State estate and gift tax laws have been amended in the last few years. Presently, there are no Federal Estate taxes due when an individual dies with less than 1.5 million dollars (Two million in 2006).  However, Maine  ãdecoupledä itself from the federal government requiring a state estate tax if an individual dies with more than 950 thousand (One million in 2006).
