Estate taxes have nothing to do with corporate relocation.
In a lot of these cases, especially FL and other places in the south and AZ and NV, it’s retirees who are moving. They move for tax reasons.

DIBS, are you saying that estate taxes play a role in company relocation or individual reallocation?
For company relocation, it seems like corporate taxes and incentives would play a larger role.
For personal relocation, it seems like job market and cost of living play the largest role, followed by personal reasons. Income tax would fall under cost of living, but it is almost always outweighed by housing costs.
I do not know of anyone who has ever claimed that estate taxes caused them to move.
I did a quick excel comparison between population growth in the last 60 years and tax rates.
The correlation was -0.322. I wish I knew more about statistics, but that seems to indicate a moderate relationship between lower taxes and higher population growth.
DH – If someone buys new contruction, there is an expectation that the building will not have drafty windows. I would be pissed and it would not matter if I paid $100,000 or $1,000,000 for the property.
I wonder how much my Mexican bf’s 4 kids cost to be delivered. And who paid?
