Milbank Attorneys Examine New York's Pied-à-Terre Tax In New York Law Journal Article
Milbank LLP are most popular: within Finance and Banking, Real Estate and Construction and Antitrust/Competition Law topic(s) with readers working within the Technology and Utilities industries Milbank LLP Trusts, Estates and Exempt Organizations attorneys Amy Albert, Austin Bramwell and Leah Socash authored an article published by the New York Law Journal examining the implications of New York's pied-à-terre tax for common estate planning structures and situations.
Pied-a-Terre Practice Pointers
Although there is a current ‘pause’ of the rollout due to litigation, there is no indication that the tax is going away, and practitioners should be well-versed in the potential pitfalls of common structures and situations when clients call. Approximately halfway through 2026, New York’s so-called pied-a-terre tax was signed into law, with the presumed intent to tax second homes.

Letter to the editor: These candidates will help Bozeman move in right direction
The job is only halfway done! In June it was voted that we should elect five people for the purpose of recommending changes to the Bozeman City Charter. This was a vital first step toward the betterment of our town. Now we need to follow through and assemble a group of individuals who will make the right choices for our future. I am a local native. Bozeman has changed drastically in ways I would have never imagined.
Use These Math Shortcuts In Estate Planning
When a client asks what amounts a given estate plan might cost or save, and a reliable approximation would require some complex math, you don't have to say "Let me get back to you on that," say Amy Albert and Austin Bramwell of Milbank LLP. To the dismay of many young lawyers, estate planning inevitably requires some math — and it can get tricky. For example, see the annuities valuation formula at Reg. §25.2512-5(d)(2)(v)(A)(1)(i) Figure 1. A century ago, in Edwards v.

Letter to the editor: City should step up to ease renter burdens
The working class of Bozeman shoulders a huge rent burden and many of us live one emergency away from eviction. In a city where housing is so expensive and scarce, homelessness is the obvious outcome. Seventeen cities across the United States have enacted Tenants Right To Counsel programs that are incredibly successful at keeping people housed, lowering eviction filings, and solving the rising problems of homelessness.
Letter to the editor: Bozeman needs your help to improve itself
The citizens of Bozeman have a once-in-a-decade chance to change their town and I strongly urge every one of them to do so by voting to review the government of the City of Bozeman on June 4th. As a lifetime resident of this area, I can attest to the staggering growth this city has undergone in the past two decades. We are a much larger, more diverse community. However, the infrastructure to support renters and the working class has been an afterthought.
Sugar Pumpkins
First off, sugar pumpkins are not to be confused with the ones used to carve jack-o'-lanterns. Also called pie pumpkins or sweet pumpkins, sugar pumpkins are smaller, sweeter, and less fibrous, which makes them a great choice for cooking. They belong to the winter squash family (as do butternut and acorn squash, and kabocha), and are delicious prepared in similar ways. Sugar pumpkins don't just look like October—they taste like it, too.
Navigating Farmers' Markets
Photography by Arina P. Habich / Shutterstock It's that time again—blueberries beckon, squash summons, kale is calling. Get thee to a farmers' market! The latest USDA tally estimates 6,300 farmers' markets and counting nationwide. As that number continues to grow, it's natural to wonder whether or not you're shopping at a legit market and choosing the best stalls.
Choosing Pots and Pans to Improve Your Cooking
As a Fine Cooking editor, I’ve had the chance to observe lots of great cooks at work. From them, I’ve learned plenty—including the fact that good-quality pots and pans made of the right materials really can improve your cooking. Rather than having a rack filled with pots and pans of all shapes and sizes, owning a few well-chosen pieces will give you the flexibility to cook whatever you want and the performance you need to cook it better.
Fresh Morels Are Nutty and Delicate
Article By Amy Albert Fine Cooking Issue 45 Photo: Amy Albert At the market, look for plump, fresh-looking morels that feel heavy for their size; skip any that look shriveled. Grit nestles easily in those honeycombed caps, so morels need cleaning before cooking: split the mushrooms lengthwise (they’re hollow throughout) and wipe gently with a damp paper towel or a soft-bristled brush. If you must rinse morels, do it briefly and be sure to blot the mushrooms dry.
Q + A: Happy Face
Michael Lehrer designed his first home 40 years ago and has been at it ever since. He spent a year working for celebrated architect Frank Gehry (it taught him much, including the importance of intensely engaging clients in the design process), before opening his own firm, which now employs about 15 people and does a mix of commercial, affordable, and custom projects.
Wrapping It Up - How-To - FineCooking
How-To By Amy Albert Fine Cooking Issue 54 Featured in our 2019 Christmas Guide Photos: Scott Phillips Now that you’ve made those delicious and beautiful tarts, cakes, pies, cookies, and candies, here are some clever ways to wrap them up for holiday gift-giving.
Design Detail: Deep Bench
Ready to create a home for a growing family, the client embarked on a radical remodel on San Francisco’s Potrero Hill. It also involved an extensive landscaping redo to provide space for family parties and for kids to play. The site was sloped and the hillside included a concrete retaining wall, holding and functional but overengineered, with chunks of concrete breaking away, recalls landscape designer Jan Longwell. Adding to the challenge were adjacent concrete steps that had to stay put.
Safety and Ethics of Smart Home Technology
More and more, builders are considering adding smart home products to their new homes as an option or standard. But a recent story in The New York Times raises questions about ethics and responsibility regarding the devices. The piece tells of people whose partners used smart home technology as a tool of abuse: changing lock passwords, turning up the thermostat, cranking the music at odd hours.

Reaching First-Time Buyers With Starter Homes
Earlier this year, economic performance rankings of the 100 biggest U.S. metros were released by The Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program. The report was sobering. Between 2009 and 2014, just nine of the 100 largest metro areas exceeded averages in growth, prosperity, and inclusion. Though many parts of the country grew robustly overall during the recovery, median wages declined in 80 of the 100 metro areas studied (Illustrations: Michael Kirkham).
Choosing the Right Food Mill
A food mill is a sieve with muscle. No other tool can mash and strain soft chunks of food more neatly and less strenuously, all at one time. While a 20-year-old hardware-store mill has served me pretty well, some of the bigger, sturdier models I’ve seen made me wonder if it’s time for an upgrade. With this in mind, I put a bunch of food mills through their paces, from a 2-quart plastic model to a professional-size mill three times that size.
Can Homes Age With Us?
By the age of 40, architect Matthias Hollwich was already a staunch advocate for elders. At a Washington, D.C., conference on designing for an aging population back in 2012, he spoke more powerfully about the marginalizing of seniors than anyone else on the roster, though he was the youngest presenter by far.

Wanted: Workable Housing Solutions
A lack of tenable housing options for those entering the market or of modest means continues to bedevil many U.S. metros. San Francisco is still the poster child. As you’ll see on this year’s Housing Giants map insert (page 34), the median home price hit nearly $1.2 million in 2017, absurdly out of reach for the city’s middle class.
Next Steps for Disaster Resilience and Rebuilding
In “Recovering from the Wreckage,” senior editor John Caulfield examines the recovery efforts of builders in the aftermath of the fires, floods, and storms that have hit northern California, Houston, and Louisiana. As you’ll read, much of the work is being shouldered by local builders that are embracing new ways of doing business in order to help their areas recover. Big builders are involved, too.
Beginners and Boomers: Fact and Fiction for Home Builders
They’re at different stages of life, but many first-timers and downsizers have desires in common when it comes to home preferences, such as open floor plans, flex rooms, and relatively modest square footage. This month, in House Review, the members of Professional Builder’s House Review Design Team share plans designed to appeal to both buyer groups (Photo: Creative Commons via Pixabay).

The Well-Conceived Details of a Baker's Kitchen - FineCooking
Ask devoted bakers about Flo Braker and they’ll probably tell you she’s the author of The Simple Art of Perfect Baking and Sweet Miniatures, a founding member of The Baker’s Dozen, and a co-author of The Baker’s Dozen Cookbook. They might also mention that Flo has mentored countless professional and home bakers.

The Beginner-Boomer Confluence
Last year, a well-known business blog called the divide between Millennials and Boomers the biggest long-term story on the U.S. economy. There’s no doubt that differences exist between these generations that go beyond texting instead of picking up the phone. While Millennials are revving up their adult lives, many Baby Boomers are dialing theirs down, or at least pondering it. While many Millennials struggle to get a down payment together if they can do it at all, Boomers often have equity.
