A gift of a future interest doesn't qualify for the unlimited marital deduction, the $14,000 annual exclusion from gift taxes for gifts made to non-spouses, or the $148,000 annual exclusion from gifts taxes for gifts made to non-citizen spouses. In other words, it's always taxable.
A legend is a larger-than-life story that gets passed down from one generation to the next â like the legends of Beowulf, Robin Hood, or even Big Foot. The Latin word was originally limited to written stories, but in English, legend lost that limitation.
Legend is a loanword from Old French that entered English usage circa 1340. The Old French noun legende derives from the Medieval Latin legenda. In its early English-language usage, the word indicated a narrative of an event.
