I recall a change to death duties in either Australia or New Zealand where
dying after the implementation of a change in death duties was beneficial
to their family.

My understanding is that there was quite a significant skew of the death
rate around this date, where the death rate peaked significantly after the
date of implementation. I can't find a link any article with a quick
google.
