Yes it is true that , if property owned by the decedent at the time of death is not held by the estate six months later, such property is valued at its disposition date for alternate valuation purposes.
Conditions in which the executor is allowed to choose the
alternative evaluation date are as follows:
-For the cases when it is for the purpose as described in the
section 2055 for the objective of the charitable purpose
-For the cases when it is for the purpose as described in the
section 2056 for the objective of the marriage related deduction
when it is beneficial for the spouse who is surviving.

states that charge inheritance tax for relatives are by and large
saved from charge, as are moderately little legacies. Enduring life
partners are excluded from legacy charge in six states. Also
