STATUS OF DEATH TAX REPEAL
April 1, 2008
Dear Supporters,
The Senate Finance Committee will hold a hearing called 'Outside the Box
on Estate Tax Reform: Reviewing Ideas to Simplify Planning' next
Thursday April 3rd at 10 a.m, 215 Dirksen Senate Office Building.
We can expect the following witnesses:
Dennis Belcher, chairman of the Joint Task Force and the previous chair
of the American Bar Association Probate and Trust section;
Roby Sawyer, University of North Carolina, AICPA Chair of the Joint Task
Force and chair of the Reunification committee (he will also cover the
2032A unification issue);
Shirley Kovar, American trusts and Estates Counsel (ACTEC) and Chair of
the Portability report in the Joint Task Force report; (also knows all
of the community property issues in unified credit and portability);
Diana Aviv, president and CEO of Independent Sector, in regard to
charitable giving issues.
I am not sure that this hearing really moves us any closer to estate tax reform but Senate Baucus told Senators Kyl and Lincoln that he would have two hearings and this is the second one. Senator Baucus does not really seem interested in doing any legislation this year as I believe he is waiting to see what happens in the elections this fall. So even though he has made a promise to have a vote this year, it will probably not happen.
Thank you as always for your support!!!
Patricia M. Soldano
President
