PROPERTY 2D: DONATIVE TRANSFERS
Introduction
C.A.6, 2022. Intro. cit. in ftn. to conc. op. Taxpayer challenged a regulation providing that, in order to
be deductible, a donation of a conservation easement to a charitable organization had to be granted in
perpetuity or, upon extinguishment of the easement, the organization had to receive as proceeds a fair
market value that was at least equal to the proportional value that the easement bore to the value of the
entire property at the time of the gift. The Tax Court concluded that the regulation was valid, and this
court affirmed. The concurring opinion cited Restatement Second of Property: Donative Transfers in
noting that it was unclear why the organization would be entitled to a proportion of the value of any
post-donation improvements by taxpayer under Restatement of Property § 508, which described the
prevailing rules governing easements. Oakbrook Land Holdings, LLC v. Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, 28 F.4th 700, 725.

decedent's actions. The probate court ruled that decedent's actions were valid and effective. This court
affirmed. The court cited Restatement Second of Property: Donative Transfers § 11.2 in explaining that
a donor was a person who brought a power of appointment into existence and a donee was the
powerholder; here, settlors of the family trusts were the donors and decedent was the donee. Benjamin v.
