Reinstating estate tax rates that applied immediately before May 20, 2025, for estates of decedents dying on or after July 1, 2026.

Summary

The bill changes Washington’s estate‑tax schedule so that, starting July 1 2026, the tax rates revert to those in effect before May 20 2025. It applies to all Washington‑located property of a decedent’s estate, with a proportional adjustment if any assets are located outside the state. The change creates a three‑tiered system: older rates for deaths before July 2025, higher rates for a one‑year transition period, and the restored rates thereafter.
