Item 1

 
Maine real and tangible personal property in this State bears to
the value of the decedent's 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 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.
