OPINION
DRENNEN, Judge:
Respondent determined a deficiency in Federal estate tax for the Estate of Olive Ruth Swenson in the amount of $20,678.13. The only issue for decision is whether the estate is entitled to a marital deduction under section 2056, I.R.C. 1954, which is a question of Federal law, but which in turn depends to a large extent on the effect of a disclaimer filed by decedent's husband, which is a question of State law.
