Wiggin and Dana has secured a victory in the matter of the Estate of Evelyn Seiden, resulting in the refund of approximately half a million dollars of New York Estate taxes imposed on the QTIP trust that was established by her husband’s will following his death in 2010. In a case of first impression brought before the New York Surrogate’s Court, Surrogate Rita Mella ordered the refund and vacated a New York State Notice of Deficiency imposed against the estate.
