Leiha Macauley was quoted in a New York Times article examining the uncertainty over the estate tax. If Congress does not act before the end of the year, the tax will revert to its 2001 level - a 55 percent tax rate for individual estates larger than $1 million. Leiha discussed a matter of hers in which a 93-year-old widow is seeking to disclaim her husband's property so that it could pass tax-free to her children. The woman's husband died earlier this year with an estate worth roughly $20 million.
