If the skip person distributee is a trust,  
enter the trustee's name here. If the

the individual from filing the return,  
enter the name of the person who is

market value on the date of  
distribution. Fair market value (FMV)  
is the price at which the property  
would change hands between a  
willing buyer and a willing seller when  
neither is forced to buy or to sell, and  
both have reasonable knowledge of  
all the relevant facts. FMV may not be  
determined by a forced sale price nor  
by the sale price of the item in a  
market other than that in which the  
item is most commonly sold to the  
public. The location of the item must  
be taken into account whenever  
appropriate.
