**Exclusions from the gross estate. Nonetheless, the tax code requires these items to be included first in the gross
estate before deducting the same from the gross estate.
*** Bequests to charitable institutions are considered exclusions from the gross estate only if the problem clearly states
that not more than 30% were used for administrative purposes. However, even if not more than 30% of the bequests
were used for administrative purposes, the tax code still require these items to be included first in the gross estate
before deducting the same for estate tax purposes.
