A death tax or inheritance tax is a little dirty and shouldn't exist. If a person earned their wealth wanted to pass it on to someone else, they should be able to without being taxed by half or even some it. 

So if they earned their wealth they should be able to pass on their wealth without taxes. To someone that.. didn't earn that wealth?

So when they die are you allowed to tax that? Or do they have a certain amount of time to prove they "earned" it?

Earned is a very odd phrase to use.

The parents earned their money and they can choose to pass it on or do whatever they want with it like donate it. It's logical that it would pass on to family or an heir of their choosing. A death tax shoudn't exist.
