Gifts from Cousin Eddie: Acceptance, Ownership, & Management of Bizarre Gifts

Michael Bourland
 
We all know “that guy” in “that family” who has strange collectibles and gems stowed away–– family partnership interests, virtual currency, a library full of old dingy books, an airplane, a Tuscan villa or castle in England, ranch land (maybe with goats, chickens, pigs and the like), precious jewels, mineral interests, or even a yacht. In this session, we address the maze of questions and uncertainties that surrounds these unusual gifts. Should you accept the gift; how to value it; whether to retain or sell the interests; how to dispose of the items, and what income or excise tax consequences may arise.
 
Learning Objectives: 
1. Understand the valuation and deductibility issues of the donor
2. Understand the liability and UBIT issues of the donee
3. Understand the use of gift acceptance policies by donee of unusual assets
