I'm just glad I don't have to worry about estate taxes. I plan on living forever, or at least until the sun explodes. Whichever comes first.

I'm not sure about the 'arm's length' requirement in option C. Shouldn't the value be based on the company's industry, not external factors?

Option A seems to be the key factor. The agreement must restrict the transfer of securities during the owner's life and at death to be conclusively binding for estate tax purposes.
