    That might also be to avoid paying the confiscatory death taxes in this socialist nation.
    That's actually a brilliant idea. Never thought about that.
    Any way to get out of the taxes when inheriting things like tax? (other than full on evasion, of course).

    To me that is how you came across even though that was not your intent. I mean hell you don't have to take your wife's name just to inherit property, they could give it to her and not you.

    Until you provided more information afterwards it was not very clear what your intention was, now that you explained it more detail it is understandable why you are taking your wife's name.

    Hell even Stinger read it the same way as well. It's what you write here and not what you are thinking about that causes confusion at times, and that goes for myself as well.
