Other intestate heirs may want to honor decedent’s intent and assign their interest to this relative. I think they would be making a gift for which a 709 is required, right? Would someone be able to point me to the Code or Regs that address this? And do you know if it would NOT be a gift if it was considered in settlement of an estate dispute?
