It's also reported that there will be widely varying estimates as her legal representative move to downplay her wealth for tax concerns and the IRS tries to maximize the amount for its own reasons so no documents made mention of the value of Franklin's estate believed to run into the tens of millions.
Once the value is established - a process that could take years - the IRS will take any back taxes Franklin owed, then will tax her estate at 40 percent for any assets beyond $11.2 million.
