Immortality And The Law - The Rising Power Of The American Dead, Ray Madoff
Immortality And The Law - The Rising Power Of The American Dead, Ray Madoff
Ray D. Madoff
While American law provides virtually no protections for the interests we hold most dear – our bodies and our reputations – when it comes to property interests, the American dead have greater control than anywhere else in the world. From grave robbery to Elvis impersonators, the law of the dead has a direct impact on how we live. The rising power of the American dead enables the deceased to exert control over their wealth forever through grandiose schemes like dynasty trusts and perpetual private charitable foundations and to control their creative works and identities well into the unforeseeable future.

In Immortality and the Law: The Rising Power of the American Dead, law professor Ray D. Madoff looks at how the deceased in America can exert control over their wealth through things like “dynasty trusts,” perpetual private charitable foundations, and how they control their creative works and identities well into the unforeseen future.

Immortality And The Law: The Rising Power Of The American Dead, Ray Madoff
Ray D. Madoff
This book takes a riveting look at how the law responds to that distinctly American dream of immortality. While American law provides virtually no protections for the interests we hold most dear—our bodies and our reputations—when it comes to property interests, the American dead have greater control than anywhere else in the world. Moreover, these rights are growing daily. From grave robbery to Elvis impersonators, Madoff shows how the law of the dead has a direct impact on how we live. Madoff examines how the rising power of the American dead enables the deceased to exert control over their wealth …

Comment On Tax Consequences On Wealth Accumulation And Transfers Of The Rich, Ray Madoff
Comment On Tax Consequences On Wealth Accumulation And Transfers Of The Rich, Ray Madoff
Ray D. Madoff
Despite the recent downturn in the stock market, the 1990s boom and the shift to defined contribution plans mean that more individuals will have significant wealth upon retirement. How they use that wealth will determine not only their own well-being, but also the living standards of their children, the resources available to philanthropies, and the level of investment capital in the economy.
This volume explores the reasons why people save, how they decide to allocate their wealth once they retire, and how givers select their beneficiaries. It also assesses the extent to which the estate tax and annuitization of retirement …
Taxing Personhood: Estate Taxes And The Compelled Commodification Of Identity, Ray D. Madoff
Taxing Personhood: Estate Taxes And The Compelled Commodification Of Identity, Ray D. Madoff
Ray D. Madoff
In this Article, Professor Madoff explores the ways in which the blunt tools of the wealth tax, and in particular the estate tax, uses a one-size-fits-all system to impose a tax on all property interests owned at the time of one’s death. Professor Madoff illustrates the ways in which these blunt tools can produce problematic results by examining their application to the right of publicity, a newly recognized property interest. Professor Madoff suggests that the imposition of the estate tax can force the commodification of an individual’s identity, regardless of one’s desire to refrain from marketing their identity, and explores …
