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 tax | | purposes, except that for estates of decedents dying after December | 31, 2002 and before January 1, 2005 that do not incur a federal | | estate tax, all property values are as finally determined by the | | assessor in accordance with the Code as if the estate had incurred | | a federal estate tax. The share of the federal credit used to | | determine the amount of a nonresident individual's estate tax under | | this section is computed without regard to whether the specific | | real or tangible personal property located in the State is marital | | deduction property. |
|
| | | Proceeds from the sale of property are taxable under this | section if those proceeds are included in the total federal gross | | estate and the sale was made in contemplation of death. A sale | | of property made within 6 months prior to the death of the | | grantor is deemed to be in contemplation of death within the | | meaning of this section. |
