The Tax Court has ruled that an estate does not owe additional taxes because the creation of a limited partnership by the decedent and the attendant transfer of 40,000 acres of land was a bona fide sale for adequate and full consideration and was motivated by non-tax reasons.
See "Assets Transferred to Family Limited Partnership Not Includable in Gross Estate" 2010 TNT 23-6, February 3, 2010.
