I wouldn't use the "joint" exemption for any tax planning. Unless you die at exactly the same moment, you each have only $1.5 mil. Even if you were both in an auto accident and you die 5 minutes before your wife, you get a $1.5mil exemption but everything then goes to her estate, then she only gets $1.5 mil before going to her heirs.

I definitely agree with your comment to die in debt......lol.
