All of the questions here from persons who incorrectly think that the U.S. taxes the heirs have gotten me thinking:
If an estate that owes estate tax does not pay it, and instead (illegally) distributes all the assets to the heirs, including the money that should have gone to the IRS, what happens? Can the IRS seize the assets that the heirs received from the estate? Obviously, the IRS cannot have a dead person arrested for tax evasion. Do the heirs become personally liable for the tax? Is only the executor personally liable?

The heirs may be liable to assure that debts of the deceased are paid before assets of the estate taxes the deceased after the heirs to assure that debts of the executor and the executor but ultimately they could go.
