Federal Estate Taxation - Inter Vivos Gift Between Co-Owners Of United States Savings Bonds Requires Surrender And Reissue Jan 1973

Federal Estate Taxation - Inter Vivos Gift Between Co-Owners Of United States Savings Bonds Requires Surrender And Reissue

University of Richmond Law Review

At the present time there are approximately 500 million Series E United States Savings Bonds outstanding about 75% of which are registered in the names of co-owners. Until recently there had been no consensus in the federal courts as to whether a registered co-owner of such a bond could remove it from his gross estate by making an inter vivos gift to the other co-owner without having the bond reissued according to Treasury Regulation procedures.

Recent Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson

University of Richmond Law Review

The 1972 session of the General Assembly was especially active in the areas of wills, trusts, and estates. Much of this legislation deals with fine points not affecting the average lawyer in his practice.

Deferred Compensation Under The Tax Reform Act Of 1969, David R. Goode
