US levies a 40% estate tax on US assets when the NRA account holder passes away. Should this be a point of concern for investors?

Would be great to hear from anyone who has experience on this! if there is any way to avoid it, e.g. selling off stocks?

Im looking at investing in US ETFs and stocks.

You should be investing for yourself when you are alive, when one is dead you cant take money away.
