Q1: In each of the following independent situations, determine how much should be included in Burton's gross estate less than 2042 as to the various life insurance policies involved. Assume that none of the policies are community property.

b. Nancy owns a policy on the life of Burton ($300,000 maturity value) with Burton's estate as the designated beneficiary. Upon Burton's death, the insurance company pays $300,000 to his estate.
c. Four years before his death, Burton transferred a policy on his life ($300,000 maturity value) to Ann as a gift. Burton retained the power to change beneficiaries. At the time of the transfer, the designated beneficiary was Ann. Because Burton had never exercised his right to change beneficiaries, the insurance company pays Ann $300,000 upon Burton's death.
