We customize the structure to your assets, family goals, and tax considerations, with attention to California rules.
An FLP is a partnership where family members own interests through a limited partnership. The general partner manages the partnership, while limited partners benefit from ownership and may have asset protection features.
Key elements include choosing a general and limited partnership, transferring assets into the FLP, establishing gifting strategies, and setting governance rules. The process typically involves drafting the partnership agreement, filing the required documents, funding with family assets, and agreeing on distributions.
Key terms and definitions to help you understand FLPs in plain language.
