Factually, such allegations and arguments may or may not be true, and in either case may be hard to prove or disprove many years after the fact. A good story and sympathetic court can spell doom for the agreement. Therefore, practitioners seeking to enhance the likelihood of an enforceable agreement should manage the objective and verifiable facts that mitigate against coercion and duress so as build defenses against future attack. One of those objective facts that can usually be managed is when the prenuptial agreement is signed – signings the day before or the day of the wedding should be avoided. - [New Rules Coming on Brokers and Other Financial Representatives Being Named as a Fiduciary or a Beneficiary](https://floridatax.com/new-rules-coming-on-brokers-and-other-financial-representatives-being-named-as-a-fiduciary-or-a-beneficiary/): ecurities brokers and other registered representatives often develop close relationships with their clients.

When an estate tax return is filed, the final amount of estate taxes due is not known until either the statute of limitations expire, or there is an audit (possibly followed by ongoing dispute, resolution through Appeals, and/or litigation). The estate fiduciaries are thus in the dark about whether or when an adjustment to the estate taxes will be forthcoming, or if the IRS has accepted an estate tax return as filed. This is unfair to the fiduciaries, and the beneficiaries, since a prudent fiduciary will need to hold back on distributions until the tax amount is more certainly known. - [FBAR Penalties Survive Death](https://floridatax.com/fbar-penalties-survive-death/): The IRS may assess penalties for a person’s failure to file a required FBAR. If the person’s failure to file was willful, the IRS can impose a penalty equal to 50% of the account balance or $100,000, whichever is greater.  If an individual dies, can the IRS assess and collect an FBAR penalty for failing to disclose a foreign account? - [A Co-Maker of a Promissory Note Is Not Always Liable to the Co-Signer [Florida]](https://floridatax.com/a-co-maker-of-a-promissory-note-is-not-always-liable-to-the-co-signer-florida/): In an interesting case, two doctors co-signed a promissory note with others of an LLC where they were members, and that was their employer, payable to a bank. They later left the practice, and the LLC sought to collect from them their share of the liability to the bank. An interesting aspect of suretyship law avoided liability for the doctors. - [Fantasy Sports Is Not a Game of Skill](https://floridatax.com/fantasy-sports-is-not-a-game-of-skill/): Fantasy sports generally involves the selection of team members, and then earning points when the selected team players compete in real world sports events - the players with the highest points win.

Congratulations Jenna! - [GRANTOR TRUSTS OWNING AN ANNUITY](https://floridatax.com/grantor-trusts-owning-an-annuity/): The income tax treatment of annuities is provided for under Code § 72. That section provides various rules, including extra income tax for some distributions to younger taxpayers and limits on deferral for entity owners. The provisions can be difficult to interpret when the owner of the annuity is a grantor trust, and the annuitant and current beneficiary of the trust is not the grantor. A recent private letter ruling gives the IRS’ take on some of these issues. The following conclusions are based on the above scenario – a grantor trust is the owner of the annuity, and there is a current beneficiary that is not the grantor and whose life is the measuring life for the annuity. - [Applicable Federal Rates – August 2020](https://floridatax.com/applicable-federal-rates-august-2020/): For the applicable federal rates for the above month, preceding months, and a data table that visually shows trends. . . - [Jenna Rubin appears on Wealth and Law Podcast](https://floridatax.com/jenna-rubin-appears-on-wealth-and-law-podcast/): Jenna Rubin joined Brent Nelson and Rachel Sass to talk about electronic wills, differences between the Arizona and Florida electronic will statutes, how these wills work, the current limitations of electronic wills, and to prognosticate about electronic wills’ future. - [Jenna Rubin presents at ABA Webinar](https://floridatax.com/jenna-rubin-presents-at-aba-webinar/): On July 15, 2020, Jenna Rubin presented to the American Bar Association, Real Property Trust and Estate, Litigation and Ethics Malpractice Committee on Meditations in the COVID-19 World. - [FBAR NON-WILLFUL PENALTY NOT CALCULATED BASED ON NUMBER OF ACCOUNTS](https://floridatax.com/fbar-non-willful-penalty-not-calculated-based-on-number-of-accounts/): The FBAR rules require the filing of a FinCEN Report 114, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) to report for accounts of U.S. persons aggregating $10,000 or more. For a non-willful failure to disclose, the maximum penalty imposed is $10,000. Since one FBAR is used to report multiple accounts, a basic question is whether the non-willful failure to report several accounts gives rise to only one $10,000 penalty (based on one return), or $10,000 multiplied by the number of unreported accounts. This can make a big difference . . . - [Applicable Federal Rates – July 2020](https://floridatax.com/applicable-federal-rates-july-2020/): For the applicable federal rates for the above month, preceding months, and a data table that visually shows trends. . . - [Formula Clauses Bolstered by Case That Rules Against the Taxpayer](https://floridatax.com/formula-clauses-bolstered-by-case-that-rules-against-the-taxpayer/): Formula clauses are used when property with uncertain value is transferred by gift or sale. The objective is to set the amount that is transferred for gift tax purposes, even if the IRS later is successful in asserting that what was transferred was worth more than what was reported. This can avoid gift tax by keeping the value below available exemption amounts. - [Lefkowitz v. Schwartz](https://floridatax.com/lefkowitz-v-schwartz/): By Jenna G.

Kapoor](https://floridatax.com/barrett-v-kapoor/): By Jenna G. Rubin - [Court Retains Ability to Remove Trustee Regardless of the Terms of the Trust [Florida]](https://floridatax.com/court-retains-ability-to-remove-trustee-regardless-of-the-terms-of-the-trust-florida/): An irrevocable trust included provisions for the removal of a trustee by reason of the trustee's disability. A beneficiary brought an action to remove the trustee, but not based on the specific definition and removal provisions of the trust. Could the beneficiary use Trust Code provisions to remove the trustee when the trust instrument had different provisions? In a recent case, the trial court held that the terms of the trust required that removal could be based only on the terms of the trust. While under the Trust Code the terms of a trust may prevail over the terms of the Trust Code, an exception to this rule exists under Fla.Stats. § 736.0105(2)(e) which provides that the provisions the trust instrument cannot override "the power of the court to take such action and exercise such jurisdiction as may be necessary in the interests of justice." The Trust Code also includes other provisions specifically granting powers of removal to the court. The 3rd DCA, in reviewing the question. . . - [Applicable Federal Rates – June 2020](https://floridatax.com/applicable-federal-rates-june-2020/): For the applicable federal rates for the above month, preceding months, and a data table that visually shows trends. . . - [Summary Table for Estate and Trust Deduction Limitations](https://floridatax.com/summary-table-for-estate-and-trust-deduction-limitations/): In the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, new Code §67(g) was added to prohibit individual taxpayers from claiming miscellaneous itemized deductions through 2026. Questions have arisen as to what deductions of non-grantor trusts and estates come under this provision, including deductions that carry out to beneficiaries in the year of termination of the estate or trust. Notice 2018-61 provided some guidance, and now the IRS has issued proposed regulations to provide guidance. The final treatment of these items is not the easiest thing to follow, as it gets caught up in definitions of adjusted gross income, miscellaneous itemized deductions, and other related provisions. I thought a table that breaks the various deductions into categories and the treatment of the category would be a helpful tool. So here is the table: . . . - [COVID-19 RELIEF FOR NONRESIDENTS](https://floridatax.com/covid-19-relief-for-nonresidents/): Nonresident alien individuals present in the U.S. for too many days in a calendar year may be classified as residents for federal income tax purposes under the substantial presence test.

This notice has now been superseded by Notice 2020-18. This Notice now extends both income tax payments due, as well as return filings due, on April 15 to July 15.

The latter was a part sale/part gift transaction. The transferred items were LLCs holding securities, limited partnership interests, and promissory notes. The taxpayer’s transferred interests were 99.8% nonvoting class B member interests, with 0.2% of the member interests being voting class A interests retained by a management entity owned and controlled by the taxpayer’s daughter. - [Basis in a Life Insurance Policy](https://floridatax.com/basis-in-a-life-insurance-policy/): Life insurance contracts may be sold for many reasons, including among family members as circumstances change, between trusts when it is desired to move a policy out of an irrevocable trust to one that has more desirable terms (although oftentimes that is nontaxable if it is a sale between grantor trusts), or changes in business relationships and coverages. ## Pages - [Site Map](https://floridatax.com/site-map/): PostsJenna Rubin presents at ABA National Symposium | Boca Raton Law Firm for Estate, Trust, & Probate Litigation (15th May 2023)Article by Charles and Jenna Rubin featured on cover of Florida Bar Journal | Boca Raton Law Firm for Estate, Trust, & Probate Litigation (24th February 2022)Jenna Rubin appointed to ACTEC Fiduciary Litigation Committee | Boca Raton Law Firm for Estate, Trust, & Probate Litigation (27th December 2021)FBAR Case Reversed - Nonwillful Filing Penalties Based on Number of Accounts Not Reported | Boca Raton Law Firm for Estate, Trust, & Probate Litigation (14th December 2021)Of Spousal Gifts and the Substance Over Form Doctrine | Boca Raton Law Firm for Estate, Trust, & Probate Litigation (22nd November 2021)Jenna Rubin speaks at Probate Law seminar | Boca Raton Law Firm for Estate, Trust, & Probate Litigation (22nd November 2021)Jenna Rubin appears on Wealth & Law Podcast | Boca Raton Law Firm for Estate, Trust, & Probate Litigation (5th October 2021)Jenna Rubin presents at Manatee County Probate Seminar | Boca Raton Law Firm for Estate, Trust, & Probate Litigation (5th October 2021)Indirect Loans Between a Private Foundation and a Disqualified Person Are on the IRS' Radar | Boca Raton Law Firm for Estate, Trust, & Probate Litigation (15th September 2021)Jenna Rubin presents at 2021 Attorney Trust Officer Conference (23rd August 2021)New Homestead Laws (15th August 2021)Foreign Grantor Trust Making a Distribution to Owner/Beneficiary - One or Two Penalties for Nonreporting?
