Michigan Law Review
This comment will explore the existing variations in four commonly encountered areas: joint interests with rights of survivorship, contingent remainder interests, powers of appointment, and life insurance proceeds. Emphasis will also be placed on treatment accorded the surviving spouse and children and the implicit relationship between such treatment and some of the above areas. The essence of this examination will be to inquire whether adoption of an estate tax would be a more suitable vehicle for implementing a local death tax program.

Taxation Of Annuity Contracts Under Federal Income Tax, Robert Meisenholder
Michigan Law Review
A number of questions dealing with the taxability of commercial annuity policies under death tax statutes have received judicial consideration. By contrast, only a few questions dealing with the taxability of these contracts under income tax laws have been raised before the courts. But the income tax problems are equally important in terms of tax liability. Moreover, they will in the future assume an even larger significance in view of the large number of annuity contracts of various types which have been issued and are now being offered by insurance companies. Accordingly some explanation of these problems is warranted.
