Inheritance Tax

"When my mother passed away I was assessed inheritance tax of 1,200,000.00. I sold 100 acres for the 1.2 mil and thought I was done.

Several months later I was assessed another 250,000 inheritance tax for two buildings that I had built on the property that I had just paid the 1.2 mil. Jim Ayers (retired president) of the “Pendleton Banking Co” in Pendleton, IN where I had borrowed (and paid off) the money for the construction of the two buildings was a family friend and I told him that had been billed for more tax. He called somebody he knew in Indianapolis and ask who the best tax attorney was in Indiana was. Whoever he called said without hesitation, Fred Scott.  Mr. Ayers called Mr. Scott immediately and told Mr. Scott what my situation was and ask if he’d take the case. Fred said that he wasn’t currently accepting any new clients but would review my case and recommend somebody to help me. Mr. Ayers and I  went to Fred’s office and explained what had been done and ask for his help. Mr. Scott looked at me and Mr. Ayers and said “this man needs help” he then went on to tell us that even though he wasn’t taking any new clients on he would take my case on. 

Fred Scott helped me save $250,000.00 and became a very good friend. He has since helped me set up my estate and numerous other matters."
