Deductions & credits

We found information regarding estate tax return that leads us to believe we do no have to file an estate tax return -- your thoughts?
"Most relatively simple estates (cash, publicly traded securities, small amounts of other easily valued assets, and no special deductions or elections, or jointly held property) do not require the filing of an estate tax return. A filing is required for estates with combined gross assets and prior taxable gifts exceeding $1,500,000 in 2004...., $5,450,000 in 2016"
