How does the current political climate of increased anti-immigrant sentiment and tightening immigration laws affect the viability and future of the QDOT?

The QDOT allows U.S. citizens to leave assets to non-citizen spouses without immediate estate taxes, a benefit potentially at risk. Eliminating or restricting the QDOT would increase immediate estate tax burdens on U.S. citizens and significantly reduce or eliminate tax deferral for non-citizen spouses, potentially impacting a large portion of inherited wealth. This increased tax liability could force liquidation of assets to meet obligations.
