Asked 2/25/2010

CAn I avoid inheritance tax by investing my Mom's money in Collectable Gold Coins before she dies.

My Mom's net worth is about 2.5 milliion. I have power of attorney, I am taking care of my Mom, paying bills, hiring lawyers, CPA's etc. She is 84 and no body in her family has lived past 85. If I make purchases of Collectible Gold coins to the tune of 1.5 million before 2011, when the Total Estate exeption goes back to 1 million, will I avoid hassels with the IRS and not have to pay Estate or Inheritance taxes on the 1.5 million sitting in Gold?

Or would it be easier to keep everything in the bank and have us setup a simple living trust naming me ( her son) as executor and funding the trust from the bank account. Would the 2.5 million be exempt from an inheritance tax or estate tax by having a living trust even if the inheritance exemption goes to 1 million in 2011?
