Taxation-Federal Gift Tax-Transfers Made Pursuant To Postnuptial Separation Agreements, Douglas L. Mann S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Taxpayer and her husband entered into a property settlement whereby she agreed to make certain payments to him in return for his promise to relinquish all marital rights in her property. The agreement was not to become operative unless a divorce decree was entered in a then pending action, but it was further provided that "the covenants in this agreement shall survive any decree of divorce which may be entered." The subsequent divorce decree approved the agreement and directed performance of its provisions. The Tax Court, which expunged the gift tax deficiency assessed by the Commissioner, was reversed by the …

The Limitation Of Taxation Of Transfers In Contemplation Of Death By The Revenue Act Of 1950, Edmund W. Pavenstedt Apr 1951

The Limitation Of Taxation Of Transfers In Contemplation Of Death By The Revenue Act Of 1950, Edmund W. Pavenstedt

Michigan Law Review

The Revenue Act of 1950 amended the estate tax provision dealing with transfers in contemplation of death, which has been on the books ever since the estate tax first appeared as a war emergency measure during World War I, by eliminating from this category all transfers made more than three years prior to the date of death. All transfers made within that period are deemed under the new law to have been made in contemplation of death (and hence are includible in the transferor's gross estate) unless the contrary is shown. Such a rebuttable presumption formerly was limited by the …

Gifts For The Benefit Of Minors, Austin Fleming Feb 1951

Gifts For The Benefit Of Minors, Austin Fleming

Michigan Law Review

Primarily because of tax incentives, lifetime gifts have become increasingly popular in recent years among persons of wealth. Until the Revenue Act of 1948, such gifts were frequently made between spouses. But the tax advantages of interspousal gifts were greatly lessened by the split-income privilege and the marital deduction, and a new inducement was given to gifts to third persons by the establishment of the right to treat such gifts as being one half from each spouse. As a result, gifts to children and grandchildren have taken on new prominence.
