So this is interesting. Not that this particular example is/was applicable to me (I find writing in the “I/you” tense to be more clear than other tenses, .

But I was suspecting this is(was) one of the many loopholes that rich folks could use to skirt inheritance tax. And given that this housing bubble recently wouldn’t be scrutinized if timed well, since how could one tell…. I was mainly wondering if this was something that those folks could have legally done. And If so, I wonder if people actually did this…..Hmmmmm…
