There are a number of different ways that you can protect your assets, including creating a family limited liability company (FLLC). In a typical FLLC, parents or grandparents will transfer real estate, publicly traded securities, an interest in a closely held business, or some combination of these into a limited liability company. The transferors will typically retain a certain percentage of the company's interests. At some point, other family members are given or sold membership interests either all at once or incrementally over a period of time. All parties are bound by an FLLC operating agreement, which defines everyone's responsibilities and interests as well as the ability to (or inability to) transfer their respective interests.

The FLLC is a powerful and sophisticated wealth-transfer planning device. If you want to bring family members into a business or involve them in a major investment portfolio, as well as simultaneously improve family communication and educate your family members about your investment philosophy and strategies, you should consider an FLLC. An FLLC is a concept that should be considered in rapidly growing and high-asset estates. However, it must be considered as a part of your overall estate plan.

 

 

An FLLC is not the only way to protect assets. There are simpler mechanisms that may be utilized depending on your needs. A spousal transfer of assets or an irrevocable trust may also be used to protect your wealth. Please contact us to arrange a consultation with one of our experienced lawyers to learn more about your options.
