Abstract

In Estate of Helen P. Richmond, the Tax Court determined the proper value for estate tax purposes of a minority interest in a family-owned corporation holding mostly appreciated securities. The court also sustained an accuracy-related penalty against the estate, finding that it used an unsigned draft report by a noncertified appraiser as the basis for the stock valuation reported on Form 706.

Keywords: estate tax, BICG tax liability, valuation discount, stock valuation, built-in capital gains tax liability, estate tax valuation penalty, accuracy-related penalty
