Some tips: if you have a corp with excess cash, consider paying yourself a dividend. (U.S.) Max tax on divs is now just 15%. There are many factors to consider.

Money market funds are back. Taxable ones are now approaching 4% yield after being down to about 1% a year or two ago. Some funds allow check writing.

If you have a big estate, try to die in 2010 when the estate tax expires for one year. It would be tax-wise to expire with it!
