Estate of Frank Johnson - Page 29




                                       - 117 -                                        
          we hold that Larry, Ronnie, and Sylvia are liable as transferees            
          under section 6901(a).  Their liability is limited, however, to             
          the value of the cash and other assets Frank and Katherine                  
          transferred to them.  Except for those items addressed supra, the           
          parties have agreed to the amounts of those transfers.                      
          Accordingly, in determining transferee liability the cash and               
          other assets must be adjusted to accord with the agreement of the           
          parties and our holdings in the instant cases.37  See Hagaman v.            
          Commissioner, supra at 180 n.1; Gumm v. Commissioner, supra at              
          480.                                                                        
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                 Decisions will be entered           
          under Rule 155.                                                             













               37  We note that for purposes of the notices of transferee             
          liability in determining the value of assets transferred upon               
          which transferee liability attached for Larry and Ronnie                    
          respondent used the total fair market value for the Longwood                
          property for each of them without regard to the fact that they              
          each had only a one-half interest in that property.  An                     
          appropriate adjustment is needed to account for the one-half                
          interest.
