I am sure the government monitors all international wire transactions over $10,000, and the bank institutions will report it as well. If this lump sum (I'm guessing it will be about $75,000) appears in my account, unless there is a note attached to this transaction saying that the purpose of this transfer is for inheritance, I would think they'll have questions. Perhaps this is something I need to further investigate with my bank. But, for the topic of tax, you are saying it's not taxable (with a caveat that i could prove it is inheritance related)?
