| 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 or a limited liability company or other |
pass-through entity, the tax imposed by this section applies as |
if the trust or limited liability company or other pass-through |
entity 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. The amount of this tax is a sum |
equal to that proportion of the federal credit that the value of |
the decedent's 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. |
