An article by Professor Margaret Ryznar and Brett Bueltel​, ’15, has been featured on the home page of the website Tax Notes.
Bueltel was a student in Professor Ryznar’s federal income tax course several years ago, and now is Assistant Professor of accounting at the University of Southern Indiana’s Romain College of Business.
The paper, Professor Ryznar said, considers a common scenario in which a surviving spouse challenges a prenuptial agreement that granted each spouse a life estate at the other’s death, and whether the resulting settlement payment by the estate can qualify for the marital deduction when structured as a statutory election.
Professor Ryznar is an associate professor of law, Dean’s Fellow, and Grimes Fellow. She teaches family law; international and comparative family law; juvenile law; income taxation of individuals, fiduciaries and business associations; and trusts and estates. In addition to contributing to the Huffington Post, she edits the Family Law Prof Blog.
