Questions Used in Semistructured In-Depth Interview 150 Bibliography 151 Index 173 This page intentionally left blank Preface I became interested in contemporary inheritance practices while doing re- search for a book that looked at elderly people and their relationship to their families. In the course of that research, I made the startling discovery that the health of our aging population is inextricably linked to wealth. This fact presents new and important economic, legal, and emotional challenges for the American family. Surprisingly, the topic had largely gone unaddressed by policy makers for decades. Consequently, I have chosen to use a wide sociological lens to better understand the social dimensions and implications of intergenerational transfers, bequests, and inheritance in the United States. Chapter 1 describes how the transfer of wealth between generations is chang- ing in every regard, thus giving rise to a new social contract in which family will increasingly play a larger role in minimizing risks in later life. A background of U.S. inheritance laws and attitudes from colonial to modern times is given in Chapter 2, which describes some pivotal focal events that underlie inheritance practices today. Chapter 3 examines intergenerational exchanges and wealth transfers from a cross-national perspective. I compare and contrast the current institutional arrangements of pension programs in the United States with those in other industrialized nations, including Sweden, France, and Italy, that are also undergoing dramatic demographic change and challenges in caring for their elderly citizens. The comparison of the old-age welfare state in Europe and the United States helps to further place the topic in context and illuminate the goal of creating policies designed to influence individual-level wealth accumulation. In Chapter 4, I examine the massive differences among and within families regarding the extent of wealth and inter vivos transfers for college education, home mortgages, and other purposes. I summarize an abundance of statistical data based on nationwide household surveys of ethnically diverse families. The analyses shed light on the variation in gift giving and inheritance patterns across the life cycle. The focus of Chapter 4 is the generational differences between two xii preface cohorts, born from 1946 to 1964 (Baby Boom Generation) and those who grew up during the Depression era (Silent Generation). The lifelong shared experiences and events associated with each birth cohort have been found to influence atti- tudes toward retirement income security (Torres-Gil, 1992). I also look at gift- giving patterns for these different age groups across the economic spectrum, including people of non-Latino white, African American, Asian, and Mexican ancestry. In Chapter 5, I use both biographical narratives and anecdotal evidence to explore the role of material exchanges in defining the moral ties between genera- tions as they relate to gender, race, class, ethnicity, and religious affiliation. In so doing, I depart from traditional social scientific approaches to collecting data, relying instead on in-depth interviews of intergenerational transfers from the perspective of low-income families to upper-class men and women actively in- volved in faith-based organizations in Austin, Texas. The case study material reveals what is involved in the decision-making processes and helps to illustrate the generalizations drawn from the surveys. Chapter 6 fleshes out the concept of contemporary inheritance practices by thinking about how wealth practices have changed over time. The chapter draws on nonquantitative data about patterns of material exchanges and the symbolic aspects of the meaning attached to gift giving from the perspective both of the parent and the adult child.

  • Chinese Privatization: Between Plan and Market
    CHINESE PRIVATIZATION: BETWEEN PLAN AND MARKET LAN CAO* I INTRODUCTION Since 1978, when China adopted its open-door policy and allowed its economy to be exposed to the international market, it has adhered to what Deng Xiaoping called "socialism with Chinese characteristics."1 As a result, it has produced an economy with one of the most rapid growth rates in the world by steadfastly embarking on a developmental strategy of gradual, market-oriented measures while simultaneously remaining nominally socialistic. As I discuss in this article, this strategy of reformthe mere adoption of a market economy while retaining a socialist ownership baseshould similarly be characterized as "privatization with Chinese characteristics,"2 even though it departs markedly from the more orthodox strategy most commonly associated with the term "privatization," at least as that term has been conventionally understood in the context of emerging market or transitional economies. The Russian experience of privatization, for example, represents the more dominant and more favored approach to privatizationcertainly from the point of view of the West and its advisersand is characterized by immediate privatization of the state sector, including the swift and unequivocal transfer of assets from the publicly owned state enterprises to private hands. On the other hand, "privatization with Chinese characteristics" emphasizes not the immediate privatization of the state sector but rather the retention of the state sector with the Copyright © 2001 by Lan Cao This article is also available at http://www.law.duke.edu/journals/63LCPCao. * Professor of Law, College of William and Mary Marshall-Wythe School of Law.

  • Imagereal Capture
    Some Aspects of Theft of Computer Software by M. Dunning I. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to test the capability of New Zealand law to adequately deal with the impact that computers have on current notions of crimes relating to property. Has the criminal law kept pace with technology and continued to protect property interests or is our law flexible enough to be applied to new situations anyway? The increase of the moneyless society may mean a decrease in money motivated crimes of violence such as robbery, and an increase in white collar crime. Every aspect of life is being computerised-even our per­ sonality is on character files, with the attendant )ossibility of criminal breach of privacy. The problems confronted in this area are mostly definitional. While it may be easy to recognise morally opprobrious conduct, the object of such conduct may not be so easily categorised as criminal. A factor of this is a general lack of understanding of the computer process, so this would seem an appropriate place to begin the inquiry. II. THE COMPUTER Whiteside I identifies five key elements in a computer system. (1) Translation of data into a form readable by the computer, called input; and subject to manipulation by the introduction of false data. Remote terminals can be situated anywhere outside the cen­ tral processing unit (CPU), connected by (usually) telephone wires over which data may be transmitted, e.g. New Zealand banks on­ line to Databank. Outside users are given a site code number (identifying them) and an access code number (enabling entry to the CPU) which "plug" their remote terminal in.

  • Real & Personal Property
    CHAPTER 5 Real Property and Personal Property CHRIS MARES (Appleton, Wsconsn) hen you describe property in legal terms, there are two types of property. The two types of property Ware known as real property and personal property. Real property is generally described as land and buildings. These are things that are immovable. You are not able to just pick them up and take them with you as you travel. The definition of real property includes the land, improvements on the land, the surface, whatever is beneath the surface, and the area above the surface. Improvements are such things as buildings, houses, and structures. These are more permanent things. The surface includes landscape, shrubs, trees, and plantings. Whatever is beneath the surface includes the soil, along with any minerals, oil, gas, and gold that may be in the soil. The area above the surface is the air and sky above the land. In short, the definition of real property includes the earth, sky, and the structures upon the land. In addition, real property includes ownership or rights you may have for easements and right-of-ways. This may be for a driveway shared between you and your neighbor. It may be the right to travel over a part of another person’s land to get to your property. Another example may be where you and your neighbor share a well to provide water to each of your individual homes. Your real property has a formal title which represents and reflects your ownership of the real property. The title ownership may be in the form of a warranty deed, quit claim deed, title insurance policy, or an abstract of title.

  • Non-Level Rents: Issues and Opportunities
    Note: This is an expanded version of the Federal Insight column that was published in the November/December 2015 issue of ELFA’s Equipment Leasing & Finance Magazine. Non-Level Rents: Issues and Opportunities Detailed Analysis By Glenn Johnson and Joe Sebik Pricing Analysis by David Holmgren Background The leasing industry is known for creativity as well as its ability to adapt to industry changes such as the types of assets leased and tax law changes. Congress long ago recognized that tax benefits can promote investment in capital assets by lowering the net present value cost of acquiring assets. Similarly within the tax leasing world, long ago leasing professionals realized the power of the time value of money and of tax benefits. They recognized the benefit of accelerating tax deductions and deferring taxable revenues. These practitioners realized that there was little they could do to affect the existing tax depreciation rules that established the basis and method for depreciating assets, but they continued to seek the benefits from deferring rental income, suitable especially for lessees with excellent credit. Perceived abuses prompted the Treasury to establish tax rules to limit the deferral of rents. Application of Tax Laws (in general) For many years Congress sought to craft tax rules to rein in the perceived structuring abuses. As it turned out, not all lease payment structuring was purely tax-motivated. Often rental structuring was to accommodate the seasonality of the lessee’s business or underlying cash flow availability. In the real estate market, lessors argued that leases were often for extended terms and the norm was to start rents at a defined level and escalate them annually consistent with usual inflationary trends to cover rising operating expenses such as maintenance and energy costs.

INTRODUCTION Kentucky has two death taxes. Inheritance Tax The Kentucky inheritance tax is a tax on a beneficiary’s right to receive property from a deceased person. The amount of the inheritance tax depends on the relationship of the beneficiary to the deceased person and the value of the property. Most of the time, the closer the relationship the greater the exemption and the smaller the tax rate. All property belonging to a resident of Kentucky is subject to the tax except for real estate located in another state.
