Any remaining values in the estate would go to the next generation of heirs – the children. This inheritance would then become part of the children's estate and would be subject to estate taxes when they pass it on to their children – the grandchildren in this example. This total arrangement minimizes the taxes due and maximizes the amount of the grandparent's assets going to the grandchildren.
