Darren Wallace and Ed Krzanowski were quoted in an article, "Valuation discounts: what could the IRS’ new proposal mean for families?" in Private Asset Management Magazine. In the article, Wallace and Krzanowski discuss the recently issued proposed regulations under Internal Revenue Code Section 2704 that, if finalized, would curtail or eliminate valuation discounts for gift and estate tax purposes.
