April Fools' Day in January for Estate Planners — Donor's Remorse?
January 2 felt like a mix between the Twilight Zone and April Fools' Day for us, and we suspect for most of our fellow estate planners (as well as for many of our clients). During prior years in our careers, we've had a few time-sensitive year-end matters to manage for clients, but the end of 2012 was far busier than any prior year in our combined 30 years of practice (we were coordinating with clients up until about 4 p.m. on New Year's Eve).

Bankruptcy Court Reinforces New Value Defense to Preference Claims
In Bogdanov v. Avnet Inc., the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Hampshire followed the majority of circuits in holding, in connection with the defense of a § 547 preference action: (1) that "new value" is given when a creditor provides some actual value to the estate; (2) that new value need not remain unpaid in order to allow the preference defendant to offset the new value against previous payments; and (3) that an otherwise preferential payment used to pay antecedent debt may nonetheless be shielded by subsequently advanced new value.Trending Stories
