      The estate of the deceased, once it's gone through probate, would have to file federal estate tax forms.  The amount of taxes due the IRS is predicated on the size of the estate, subject to the standard exemptions.  If the assets are held in a trust, the estate of the deceased have to file for the trust (via a separate tax ID number) as well.
