Hi,As I understand, the inheritance tax that a foreigner has to pay to inherit a property from another foreigner is 40% from the excess in the market value of $60k of the inherited rental property located in the US.To mitigate this low exemption compared to US citizens, I am thinking of establishing a general partnership.

I have a foreign rental property that's been in service since 2011.

I have a foreign rental property that's been in service since 2013.

One of my favourites.
