Preserving Family Lands: Book I

PRESERVING FAMILY LANDS (now retitled PRESERVING FAMILY LANDS: BOOK I) -- ESSENTIAL TAX STRATEGIES FOR THE LANDOWNER (THIRD EDITION, REVISED IN 1998)

PRESERVING FAMILY LANDS is the original landowner's introduction to basic tax issues and other considerations. The message of PRESERVING FAMILY LANDS is simple: if you have land you love, you may have an estate tax problem. The land may have become so valuable it may have to be sold to pay the estate tax.

This is the updated third edition of this important book, now retitled PRESERVING FAMILY LANDS: BOOK I and revised in 1998 to include the new estate tax provisions and land protection incentives included in the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997.

In addition to this new material, PRESERVING FAMILY LANDS still includes:

-an introduction to conservation easements
- an introduction to the income and estate tax benefits available for donations of conservation easements and the estate and gift tax rules
- gifts by will and gifts of remainder interests
- appraisal issues and information about potential donee organizations
- what you need to know to get started

If you haven't read PRESERVING FAMILY LANDS you should. It's the first book in the series.
