An FLP is a partnership where parents typically act as general partners and children are limited partners, enabling structured ownership and gifts over time.
Formation involves a formal agreement, proper deed recording, valuation considerations, and ongoing governance to keep the plan aligned with your goals.
An FLP is a family-owned business entity used to hold and transfer assets. Through gifting interests to family members, you can control wealth transfer while retaining management through the general partners.
Key elements include the FLP agreement, general and limited partner roles, asset contributions, valuation methods, and periodic gifting and recordkeeping; processes cover formation, funding, and annual compliance.
