Court Report

Malpractice

The IRS wants to reach into a Boston banker's grave to collect $1.9 million it claims he owes. Even though the malpractice case isn't expected to go to trial until next year, the IRS demanded John J. Ryan's estate pay the $1.9 million in additional 2000 estate taxes, penalties and interest - presuming that Ryan's estate would receive $4 million from the case.
