Estate tax payment provisions in multiple documents
Article Abstract:
Estate planners should include in all wills and trusts their clients' wishes regarding the apportionment of estate taxes. Allocation provisions are particularly important in estate plans which consist of multiple documents. Although the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in McKeon reached a reasonable allocation by interpretation of a will and two trust instruments, thorough drafting may have avoided the litigation. Estate planning documents which lack such provisions are open to litigation and such judicial determinations of intent.
