An FLP is a family owned structure with a general partner who runs the partnership and limited partners who hold ownership interests. It enables controlled transfers while preserving family involvement. The structure also includes governance rules and how gifts are allocated.
Tax implications vary by asset type and state law. FLPs can leverage discounts on gifts to reduce taxable value. The effect on estate taxes and generation skipping transfer taxes should be reviewed with a tax advisor.
Families with closely held assets such as real estate or a family business can benefit from FLPs. FLPs support multigenerational planning while maintaining some control over assets.
FLPs involve a more complex structure and cost compared to simpler tools. Improper planning can lead to tax or governance issues; professional guidance helps reduce risk.
FLPs may provide certain asset protection benefits within legal limits. Protection varies by state and structure; a careful analysis is needed for each situation.
Timelines depend on asset readiness and plan complexity. From several weeks to a few months is common with thorough document preparation and review.
California recognizes FLPs when properly formed and maintained. Compliance with state rules and tax code is essential and we assist clients through the process.
Costs vary with complexity and assets involved. An initial consultation provides a clear estimate based on goals and scope of work.
