      <title>Gift Taxes Can Be Confusing</title>
      <link>http://www.legalhelpmate.com/news/power-of-attorney-news-8.aspx</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The rules about gift taxes continue to produce questions. Here is a recent question from a reader: &quot;After reading your article about the $11,000 gift tax benefit I would like to know if the 'separate individuals' receiving the gift can be husband and wife. My wife's mother recently died and left a sum of approximately $40,000, but not in a will, to her husband to be given to my wife and myself after her passing. Can he write a check for each of us for $11,000 this year, and then for the balance of $18,000 in two checks of $9,000 each early next year, without becoming subject to gift taxes?]]></description>
