                               UNITED STATES TAX COURT                                


                BAINE P. AND MILDRED C. KERR, DONORS, Petitioners v.                  
                    COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent                      


               Docket No. 14449-98.                Filed December 23, 1999.           


                    In 1993, Ps and their children formed two family                  
               limited partnerships (KFLP and KILP).  The KFLP and KILP               
               partnership agreements contain identical restrictions on               
               liquidation of the partnerships. In June 1994, Ps                      
               transferred limited partnership interests in KFLP and                  
               KILP to the University of Texas (the university).                      
                    On Dec. 28, 1994, Ps created separate grantor                     
               retained annuity trusts (GRAT’s).  Ps each transferred a               
               44.535-percent class B limited partnership interest in                 
               KFLP to their GRAT’s.  The GRAT’s remainder interests                  
               were intended to benefit Ps grandchildren through                      
               generation-skipping trusts.                                            
                    On Dec. 30, 1994, the university was admitted as a                
               limited partner of KILP.  On Dec. 31, 1994 and 1995, Ps                
               transferred limited partnership interests in KILP to                   
               their children.
