Okay, let's see... The life insurance policy is definitely included, and the family residence is too, even though it was purchased with Mr. Allen's separate funds. I think I've got it - the answer is D. $360,000.

Ah, the joys of estate planning. I'm just glad I don't have to deal with this stuff in my day-to-day life. Leave it to the professionals, I say!

This question is making my head spin! I bet the IRS wishes they could just tax the whole $700,000 and call it a day. Where's the fun in that, though?

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. It seems like there are a lot of factors to consider. I better double-check my work on this one.

I think the answer is D. $360,000. The life insurance policy and the family residence are both included in the gross estate, but the joint bank account is excluded since Mrs. Allen made all the deposits.
