If someone dies in California with less than the exemption amount, their estate doesn't owe any federal estate tax, and there is no California inheritance tax. The heirs and beneficiaries inherit the property free of tax. They don't pay income tax on it, either, because inherited property is not ordinary income.
I just read your link about the exemption amount so please disregard my question and THANK YOU! re How much is the exemption in 2019 for California?
