To be eligible for the Marital Deduction, the property must pass "__________."
A. eventually
B. indirectly
C. outright
D. quickly
is it D
No, the correct answer is C. "outright."
To determine the correct answer, you should have a basic understanding of the Marital Deduction in tax law. The Marital Deduction allows married individuals to transfer unlimited assets to their spouse during their lifetime or through their estate tax-free. However, in order for the property to qualify for the Marital Deduction, it must pass to the surviving spouse outright, meaning it becomes the sole and unrestricted property of the surviving spouse.
When answering a multiple-choice question like this, it's important to carefully read and understand each option. In this case, options A, B, and D do not accurately describe the requirement for the property to be eligible for the Marital Deduction, while option C, "outright," correctly describes the condition that must be met.
