BCB-

Yes and No.

The estate attorneys are not going out of business because the new rules are only good for two years. Every Tom, Dick and Harry (including me, are going to be rewriting wills and trust to incorporate the "what ifs" that might occur in 2013 and insure against knee jerk reactions to this current set of rules (and making a mistake).

Now, as for income tax, well, that's a whole 'nother matter.

And from Law Suit Land: Engine Makers Sue to Block E15 Fuel

The Environmental Protection Agency’s approval of more ethanol in the fuel recipe for some cars has been challenged in federal court.

Most car fuel sold around the country is a mixture of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline, known as E10, but ethanol supplies and Congressional mandates for using ethanol are rising much faster than the market is absorbing the fuel. So in October, acting on the petition of an ethanol industry group, the agency approved a 15 percent blend known as E15, for cars from the 2007 model year and later.

On Monday, however, a who’s who of associations of engine manufacturers filed suit in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The plaintiffs, which include the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers, the National Marine Manufacturers Association and the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, want the E.P.A.’s decision overturned and sent back to the agency.
