With an estate tax, the value is assessed once, I'd assume (at death/inheritance), then due to be paid. You might have to sell of a third or whatever of the fortune/company, and keep the majority.
Sure, over successive generations, the family might lose control of their original fortune/company, but that is compatible with the intention of the tax.

Even 1% per annum would destroy control well within a career, let alone a generation considering exponential growth. edit: Just noticed that you are talking about estate taxes and I'm talking about wealth taxes...
