The Haunting Of Wealth Law, Allison Anna Tait
The Haunting Of Wealth Law, Allison Anna Tait
Law Faculty Publications
Wealth law is full of ghosts, ghosts everywhere all at once. As a form of both preservation and disruption, a form of continuance as well as a form of interruption, ghosts are reminders of the past in its multiple forms. But they are also figures that prompt consideration of the present as well as speculation about the future. Jacques Derrida, who suggested the idea of “hauntology,” posited haunting and the ghostly as being “time out of joint,” a reference to Hamlet’s confused cry upon seeing his father’s ghost that Derrida analyzes extensively. In this sense, ghosts are akin to inheritance, …

Superficial Proxies For Simplicity In Tax Law, Emily Cauble
Superficial Proxies For Simplicity In Tax Law, Emily Cauble
University of Richmond Law Review
Simplification of tax law is complicated. Yet, political rhetoric surrounding tax simplification often focuses on simplistic, superficial indicators of complexity in tax law such as word counts, page counts, number of regulations, and similar quantitative metrics. This preoccupation with the volume of enacted law often results in law that is more complex in a real sense. Achieving real simplification—a reduction in costs faced by taxpayers at various stages in the tax planning, tax compliance, and tax enforcement process—often requires enacting more law, not less. In addition, conceptualizing simplicity in simplistic terms can leave the public vulnerable to policies advanced under …

Estate, Gift And Income Tax Aspects Of Virginia's Transplanted Community Property - A Primer, J. Rodney Johnson
Estate, Gift And Income Tax Aspects Of Virginia's Transplanted Community Property - A Primer, J. Rodney Johnson
Law Faculty Publications
Almost a quarter of a century has now passed since the Virginia Supreme Court officially recognized the existence of transplanted community property in this state in the landmark case of Commonwealth v. Terjen, 197 Va. 596, 90 S.E. 2d 801 (1956). In this case, involving a California couple who sold their community-property owned residence in California and brought the proceeds along with them when moved to Virginia, the court held: "A change of domicile from a state where the community property law prevails to a common-law state does not affect the community property character of property previously acquired." Thus community …
Virginia Wealth Transfer Tax- Proposed Alternatives, Michael D. Flemming
Virginia Wealth Transfer Tax- Proposed Alternatives, Michael D. Flemming
University of Richmond Law Review
House Resolution 34, which was approved by the House of Delegates during the 1977 session of the Virginia General Assembly, observed that Virginia's inheritance and gift tax laws have remained essentially unchanged for more than 50 years and commissioned a study of those laws "in light of recent developments."' The proponents of House Resolution 34 no doubt had the 1976 amendments to the federal estate and gift tax laws fresh on their minds. But in addition to the federal changes, several of the states have altered their approach to transfer taxation in recent years. These changes expand the options available …
The Optimum Marital Deduction Survives The Tax Reform Act, J. Rodney Johnson
The Optimum Marital Deduction Survives The Tax Reform Act, J. Rodney Johnson
Law Faculty Publications
Several years ago an article appeared in the pages of this journal which suggested that those attorneys who regularly focused on obtaining the maximum marital deduction in the wills they were drafting for their clients might be suffering from a form of estate planner's myopia. That is, they were losing sight of their ultimate goal of minimizing the total estate tax burden imposed on the husband's assets as they pass from him, through the wife, on to the ultimate beneficiaries. The danger foreseen was that, as an attorney employed one of the various formula clauses designed to obtain every possible …
An Attack On The Optimum Marital Deduction: Revenue Ruling 76-176, J. Rodney Johnson
An Attack On The Optimum Marital Deduction: Revenue Ruling 76-176, J. Rodney Johnson
Law Faculty Publications
A recent development in the field of estate and gift taxation-the issuance of Revenue Ruling 76-156 may be an indication of a policy decision on the part of the Internal Revenue Service to clamp down on the increasing utilization of the estate planner's most flexible tool in the ·area of post-mortem estate planning-the disclaimer. Due to the potential importance of this ruling, it seems desirable ( 1 ) to deal with the ruling, itself, in some detail, ( 2) to see how the ruling might affect an estate planning concept suggested in these pages last year, and ( 3) to …
Drafting For The Optimum Marital Deduction, J. Rodney Johnson
Drafting For The Optimum Marital Deduction, J. Rodney Johnson
Law Faculty Publications
While the marital deduction provided for by federal estate tax law may not necessarily be the controlling factor in planning the will of a married person, it is certainly one of the most important factors because of the sheer magnitude of this deduction up to 50% of the adjusted gross estate. A direct consequence of this importance is reflected in the fact that the marital deduction has become the most written-about topic in the estate planning area. Most of what has been written about this subject can be divided into the two following categories: ( 1 ) an explanation of …
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. This conflict in case law and its attendant confusion has had the effect of preventing uniform application of federal estate tax law concerning savings bonds. …
