If the issue is that people are dying leaving behind significant wealth but not documenting this, just make the estate tax 100% on any assets missing documentation like this. I'm sure the lawyers would figure out the rest.

That's effectively already the rule if you sell something and can't figure out the cost basis - it counts as zero.
