Typical Congress, again showing their lack of due diligence on financial matters that affect real people.......
Congress is responsible for keeping lawyers and CPA's gainfully employed. Changes such as this are not intended to go after additional revenue so much as to keep estate plans in a state of flux and the so-called professionals who prepare them busy collecting hefty fees. Would you want Congress to drop the ball by allowing rules to stay in place so that a well done estate plan might last for many years? Do you want to see the children of lawyers and CPA's standing on the corner, cup in hand, begging for a few crumbs?
Complicated rules and never ending change are essential to the ongoing employment and business plans of legal and accounting firms.
