An FLP is a private partnership where family members own interests and governance is guided by a general partner. It can simplify transfer of assets and help manage tax implications.
Gifting FLP interests involves valuation, exemptions, and timing considerations. Proper planning helps optimize transfer tax outcomes while respecting gift limits.
Ongoing costs include drafting and updating agreements, annual filings, and governance meetings. We help streamline these processes.
In certain structures, assets placed within an FLP can receive a degree of protection from specific creditor claims, though protections have limits and regulatory rules apply.
Typically a trusted family member with management ability serves as general partner; flexibility depends on family goals and structure.
FLPs can work with trusts as part of a broader estate plan, coordinating ownership and transfer strategies with trust provisions.
Plans can be updated to reflect changes in family status, asset holdings, and goals, with modifications documented in amendments to FLP agreements.
FLPs can be suitable for families of various sizes, with design tailored to goals and asset levels.
Amendments or winding down an FLP are possible, subject to the governing agreement and tax considerations.
Implementation timing depends on readiness, data gathering, and coordination with other estate planning steps.
