Estate of Purdue: A Blueprint for FLPing

Phyllis C. Taite, Florida A&M University College of Law

Abstract

In this article, Taite examines Estate of Purdue, in which the Tax Court held that assets of the decedent that were transferred to the family limited liability company were not includable in the gross estate, that transfers to the family trust qualified for an annual exclusion, and that the estate could deduct interest on loans from the estate’s beneficiaries.
