<title>No Room For Overlap: UK Supreme Court confirms legal advice privilege confined to lawyers </title>

<description>Some will regard it as a victory for common sense and a (rare?) triumph for the rule of law; others will bemoan what they will see as shabby treatment of non-lawyers by the might of the legal profession: whatever the conclusion of the public debate which will no doubt ensue, the fact remains that last week the Middlesex Guildhall saw the culmination of a long struggle between the legal and accountancy professions over a fundamental point of principle, which may turn out to mark a shift in the relative standing of the two professions after many decades of expansion into the advisory sphere by accountants.  For the first judgment issued in 2013, it may turn out to be seminal text.</description>

<title>Finalized US Estate Tax Return for descedents dying in 2010 released - opt-out form expected in Autumn 2011</title>
<link>http://localhost/private_client/pcpv1/page_fullstory.php?articleid=24086</link>
<description>Recently, the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released finalized Form 706 and Form 706-NA (US estate tax returns), and instructions for these forms, for estates of descedents in 2010. Form 706 or Form 706-NA for 2010 is elective. The executors of estates of decedents in 2010 can elect to "opt out" of the U.S. estate tax and have the "carryover basis rules" apply (the Section 1022 Election). Quan Nguyen, an associate at Baker and McKenzie in Zurich, discusses certain changes for Form 706 and Form 706-NA for 2010 descedents and summarizes the procedure to make the Section 1022 Election. </description>

<title>Trio of Tax Tips and Traps: Lifetime Giving</title>
<link>http://localhost/private_client/pcpv1/page_fullstory.php?articleid=23899</link>
<description>Tax Titbits is published at the beginning of each month, providing a useful summary of salient developments in the private client tax world over the previous month. This new monthly series is intended to highlight a variety of planning points to be taken on board when advising clients.  Many of these points may seem 'quite old hat', but it never does any harm to be reminded of what one already knows - or had known and has forgotten!  The content of this new series is generally extracted from Matthew Hutton's eBook Hutton on Estate Planning 3rd Edition as updated (www.hutton-estate-planning.co.uk).  Each month the Tips and Traps will tend to follow a particular theme.</description>

<title>Giving shape to the "Big Society"</title>
<link>http://localhost/private_client/pcpv1/page_fullstory.php?articleid=23821</link>

In December 2010, we moved closer to an answer to these questions with the unveiling of the Green Paper "Giving", Julian Washington of RBC Wealth Management examines the paper and what private client advisers need to consider.</description>
