Synopsis

In this spirit and in recognition that the tax laws of this country are vast and complex and that our government makes little effort to advise its population, directly, on the existence and changes of such laws, the Author has endeavored to explain the fundamentals of our present transfer tax system; and, in combination with their Florida counterparts, their effects on Floridians who seek to transfer their property to the natural objects of their bounty during their life as gifts or at death as part of their Estates. This book has been revised, since its original form in 1985, to reflect changes in Federal, State and Local tax laws as well as Internal Revenue Service Statutes, Regulations and Rulings. Every attempt has been made to provide you, the reader, with the most up-to-date information available on this subject. Thomas N.
