I disagree.

I'm in favor of a wealth tax, but a strong proponent of any inheritance tax (and income).

A wealth tax is more fair. Avoiding it is way harder than for inheritance taxes and it's a constant spend for any estate (avoiding issues around a one time big taxable event, easing planning).

If we as society want(need!) to redistribute wealth we should not wait for people to die!

'Proponent' means you are in favor of a thing. I assume that's not what you intended?
