Inaction on the Federal Estate Tax to Continue in 2010?

Fellow Blawger Gideon Alper, who writes the Gay Couples Law Blog, has an interesting take on what will, or will not, happen with the federal estate tax over the next year or so: Estate Tax Repeal in 2010 Not a Big Deal Because Congress Can Pass a Retroactive Tax Amendment.

Regardless of what happens with the estate tax, the bottom line for those whose estates are $1 million or more, or are likely to be in the near future, is to be prepared, to the extent possible, by implementing a comprehensive, yet flexible, estate plan.  And then – review it as the tax legislation does change.
