death duty

For the tax levied on the estate of deceased persons, and sometimes called “death duty,” see Succession Duty.

The best Death Duty I know is to do what the dead ask us and not what they'd turn in their graves if they knew of.

But there they go, wanting to take most of it in Death Duty.

When a man is dead, he is dead, and in estimating the death duty you have not to bother about how long he is going to live!
