Oh come on. Is expecting them to pay taxes an "enormous ... pile of stress"? Is it not treating them as humans? They inherited an incredibly big estate consisting of illiquid assets. They did not have to work to inherit the assets, now they have to either actually do some work or hire a professional to do their fiscal duties. If that is too much stress, not accepting the inheritance is a stress free option as well, but of course it means they don't get to never have to work for money again.
