Legal Question in Tax Law in California

Monetary Give without being taxed?
My significant other's mother (mother-in-law?) wants to give each of us a monetary gift but we are unsure what amount will not be taxable. I think that she can give up to $11,000 a year to her child, but what can she give to me, her son's legally registered domestic partner? How often can she do this? :^) And will this change when the new domestic partnership law goes into effect in Jan 2005? (If is this just federal law that applies?) Thanks in advance!

Blood relation, or any relation, does not affect the gift tax exlusion in this context.

Your "mother-in-law" may gift each of you $11,000 per year.
