in any given year there are literally only a handful of estates that are taxable under the current laws. I doubt that you'd be able to notice a statistically significant change in the death rate in 2010. And just because the recent attempt to make the zero tax rate of that year permanent, don't think that they won't try again and again and again, and will perhaps actually succeed some time before December 31, 2010.
