Best in Law Blogs : The LexBlog Network : January 4, 2011

It took until now for me to realize that I put the wrong year on yesterday’s post. Earlier in the day, I mistakenly walked into LexBlog’s old offices when returning from lunch. Yeah, routine will do that. Anyway, in one of the best posts today Deirdre Wheatley-Liss makes excellent use of video in providing an overview of the 2011-2012 tax sale on gift taxes, estate taxes, and generation-skipping taxes. Total posts on The LexBlog Network today: 140.
