AN ACT RELATING TO TAXATION -- ESTATE AND TRANSFER TAXES -- ENFORCEMENT AND COLLECTION

Summary

The bill changes Rhode Island estate‑tax rules so that executors, administrators, heirs‑at‑law and trustees must file detailed sworn statements about an estate’s value, expenses and beneficiaries. For estates of decedents who die on or after Jan. 1 2027, the filer must also record a municipal affidavit stating the estate does not require a state or federal tax filing, which clears any tax lien. The measure is intended to improve tax‑collection enforcement and simplify lien removal.
