You are an associate in a boutique tax consulting firm that specializes in the real estate industry. You have been assigned to work with a client who needs advice on the tax implications of his business holdings, which include Skyscrapers, a commercial real estate firm organized as a sole proprietorship with a fair market value of $1 billion. He is considering transferring partial ownership of the Skyscrapers to both of his children and selling a 10% interest to an unrelated third party.
Your manager has asked that you prepare a memorandum informing management of the estate and gift tax consequences of these potential transactions in addition to a cost-benefit analysis. Be sure to cite appropriate case law, statutes, and regulations in your memorandum.
Propose basic estate planning strategy (without considering trusts) applying the final project fact pattern. Consider valuation, family limited partnerships, unified credit, and annual exclusion to accomplish long-term minimization of the client’s tax liability. Cite relevant legal authority for your answer. This milestone covers Section I Parts A and B (excluding trusts).
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction
A. Create an estate planning strategy, showing versatility of thought, that will minimize estate and gift tax liability over the course of the client’s life span, potentially another 30 years. Assure that as little future tax liability as possible accrues to his children.
B. Utilize family limited partnerships to accomplish long-term minimization of the client’s tax liability. Consider the mechanics of these estate planning vehicles and the appropriate authority to cite.
Instructions: Write a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) document for each work of art that includes the question and answer. The Q&A must be filled out completely for Artwork #1-4. Questions could be regarding the media being used, why the work is significant, history of the work/artist, etc. Answers should not be “yes” or “no” responses, but instead should display your skills related to critical thinking, analysis, and interpretation of the artwork. Upon completion of the FAQ, choose one of the pieces of artwork and write a 1 page critique. This art criticism is where you go beyond description and offer an informed opinion about the work. Your critique should interpret meaning and include critical judgments about the specific work of art.
The student is required to provide a thread in response to the provided prompt for each forum.
Choose 1 of the following prompts to complete your thread:
1. You have been asked by your company to hire a new worker for your unit. You have been given responsibility for conducting the recruitment and selection. How would you approach hiring a new worker for your unit? What particular methods and source will you use and why? What methods will you use to make a final decision and why?
2. The impact of downsizing an organization through layoffs can have a devastating psychological impact on those employees who survive the layoff. If you were a manager in this situation, what concerns do you think you would have in managing the workforce going forward? What role would HR play in supporting managers in this effort?
3. Often employees voice concern over team performance measures and express that their own performance is not fairly considered. As a manager, what specific criteria should be used to measure team performance? In conducting the team performance appraisal, what sources would you use and why? Should individual performance also be included in the measurement? Why?
4. It is often said by those in leadership within large organizations that, “the only thing constant around here is change!” Continuous change in organizations is certainly one of the most challenging aspects managers face. These vibrant and dynamic work environments create significant challenges for training employees — especially when job tasks/responsibilities frequently change. What are some specific ways to identify training requirements when job responsibilities become a moving target?
5. What is the difference between training and career development? Of these two concepts, which is more likely to increase retention in an organization? Why?

Privacy is a concept that is rapidly evolving in relation to the most public of mediums, the Internet, which became even more super-charged with social networking websites. In a recent California election, one ballot measure, Proposition 8, asked voters a question on marriage. Donors to the Prop 8 campaign found
that their names, addresses, and amount of contribution were masked up with Google Maps and thus rendered into a format showing the world a map image of donors’ names, street addresses, and dollar contributions. All this data is public record information already, but still quite inconvenient to access.
