Michael Roberts posted an article, Estate Tax Strategies and the New Tax Code:  Embracing Occam's Razor, Financial Planning, March 23, 2011.

The estate of a decedent who died in 2010 can decide to either pay a 35% estate tax rate or pay no estate tax with a modified carry-over basis.  Although many would consider paying no estate tax more desirable, having a modified carry-over basis may ultimately cost more in taxes.  An executor may have to weigh the interests of beneficiaries who have competing interests regarding this decision.
