You are to determine which items will be included in the Probate value of the estate and which items will be given a value of zero for the purposes of calculating the Estate Administration Tax payable. Mr. Jason Amadu has died leaving a spouse, Delyia and two children. The Will provides that the entire estate goes to the spouse provided that she survives for a period of 30 days. That requirement has been satisfied. The Estate Trustee, Bill Erling has brought in a list of assets and liabilities and which he believes is complete. Your task is to go over the list of assets and to determine which assets need to be included on the Estate Information Tax Return. For each item, enter the Probate value in the designated column. If the item is not to be included in the calculation of Estate Taxes, give the item a value of zero (0.00) and following the item indicate the reason the item is being given a value of zero if such is the case. Once you have determined the estate value for probate purposes, calculate the amount of Estate Administration Tax payable. Show your work for the tax calculation. If the net value of the estate is different from the Probate value, also calculate the net value of the estate (Total assets minus liabilities
