NY Estate Tax Cliff Estimator

In New York, if your estate exceeds the exclusion by more than 5%, you lose the exclusion entirely. Enter your estimated estate value (including Brooklyn real estate) to see your 2026 exposure.

Strategic Liquidation in 2026

For estates and trusts holding property in neighborhoods like Crown Heights, Park Slope, and Bedford-Stuyvesant, the 2026 environment offers a record-high price window. Low inventory remains the primary driver of value for estate assets.

The Rate-Lock Advantage

Estate properties are currently the only high-quality inventory available because existing homeowners are “locked” into low 3% mortgages. This triggers multiple-offer scenarios for heirs.

Fiduciary Protection

We provide data-backed valuations and transparent marketing logs to protect executors from beneficiary claims, ensuring “maximum fair market value” is achieved and documented.
