Income and Transfer Tax Planning Group

This group concentrates on the three federal transfer taxes (estate, gift and generation‐skipping), the income taxation of trusts, estates, grantors and beneficiaries, tax litigation and controversy, and arts and collectibles. Because these taxes comprise the federal tax universe in which most estate planning instruments operate, this group seeks to assist trust and estate attorneys in their constant endeavor to improve their knowledge of these taxes, to stay updated on tax reform, and to play a role in the development of these tax systems. Group members work to improve the transfer tax system by preparing and submitting comments on proposed legislation and proposed regulations, and by suggesting legislative solutions to technical problems.
