gross estate consisting of rights to receive payments in the future; and (3) the inability to
accurately determine the size of the gross estate because a substantial portion of the
decedent’s assets is subject to litigation.
The estate must request this extension on the ET Form 41, no later than 45 days before the
due date of the estate tax return. This form must be filed directly with the Estate Tax Unit.
Additional extensions must be filed not less than thirty (30) days before the expiration of the
previous extension. Each extension is granted for no more than one year per request. Addi-
tional extensions may be granted annually up to a maximum of 14 years. For further informa-
tion, please refer to ET Bulletin 3A.
