purposes, except that for estates of decedents dying after

estate tax.

 
Sec. D-4. 36 MRSA §4064, as amended by PL 2003, c. 20, Pt. JJ, §3,
is further amended to read:

 
§4064. Tax on estate of nonresident

 
A tax is imposed upon the transfer of real property and
tangible personal property situated in this State and held by an
individual who dies prior to January 1, 2002 or after December
31, 2002 and who at the time of death was not a resident of this
State. When real or tangible personal property has been
transferred into a trust, the tax imposed by this section applies
as if the trust did not exist and the property was personally
owned by the decedent. Maine property is subject to the tax
imposed by this section to the extent that such property is
included in the decedent's federal gross estate as finally
determined for federal estate tax purposes. The amount of this
tax is a sum equal to that proportion of the federal credit that
the value of Maine real and tangible personal property taxed in
this State that qualifies for the credit bears to the value of
the decedent's total federal gross estate. All property values
under this section are as finally determined for federal estate
