Irrevocable trusts, in particular, leave property out of your taxable estate with the added benefit of protection and tax savings potential.
- Setting up Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
For investors and business owners, organizing ownership as LLCs is an effective method of keeping business liabilities separate from personal assets. The segregation provides protection for personal assets in case of lawsuits against the business. LLCs have the liability protection of a corporation with the tax effectiveness and operating flexibility of a partnership.
- Using Family Limited Partnerships (FLPs)
FLPs enable family members to group assets into one partnership, with the control of the assets being held by the general partners and ownership interests belonging to the limited partners. This enables not only centralized control but also creditor protection of the assets and tax savings through discount valuation.
