The Estates Tax Processing Unit deals with the payment of taxes against the transfer of property from the estates of decedents. Records include last wills and testaments; real property appraisals and photographs; correspondence; trust deeds; estate inventories; and other documents pertaining to the transfer of estates and payment of taxes on estates. Because most decedents established life trusts to dispose of their estates, the files often include wealthy citizens such as Astor, Morgan, Carnegie, and Rockefeller.
