How Do You, as A Real Estate Investor, Coordinate Your Estate Planning With Your Real Estate Properties?
Real Estate Legacy Planning coordinates asset protection, estate planning, and real estate transaction experience to meet the needs of real estate investors. Whether you are a real estate investor or owner of vacation properties, estate planning, and asset protection, the law can provide effective legal strategies to protect your wealth. Unfortunately, most real estate attorneys need help understanding the multi-disciplinary approach required to serve real estate investors’ legal needs effectively.
Gateville Law Firm specializes in assisting real estate investors and property owners with their coordinated business structure, estate planning, and asset protection goals. Additionally, most estate planning attorneys fail to grasp real estate law in serving the legal needs of the real estate community. Real estate legacy planning is the legal strategy that meets the needs of property owners and real estate investors.
Asset Protection: Liability Strategies that Protect Your Wealth
Asset protection is critical because taxes, lawsuits, and recessions threaten the financial and wealth of real estate investors and property owners. Cases increase during difficult times, which threaten the economic viability of communities and real estate investors. As real estate legacy attorneys, we devise specific plans to address the shortfalls of real estate owners. Generally, real estate investors use proper business structures to protect their properties from the legal risks facing property owners. At Gateville Law Firm, we employ asset protection methods that minimize liability concerns and maximize profitability. By placing properties in their individual or joint family names, real estate investors unnecessarily expose their holdings to unnecessary risks. Furthermore, most estate planning attorneys fail to coordinate the real estate structure and asset protection goals with their wealth plans.
At Gateville Law Firm, we are a boutique law firm focused on Real Estate Legacy Planning, including the following:
- Real Estate Asset Protection - we help real estate owners by utilizing cutting edge strategies using LLCs, Land Trusts, and other liability reduction strategies to protect real estate owners' and investors' wealth goals.
- Establishment of LLCs - we help property owners and real estate investors structure their LLCs, otherwise known as "Limited Liability Company." Separating properties into separate LLCs and Land Trusts maximizes the strategies that protect one's wealth and reduce the likelihood of a catastrophic event.
- Estate Planning - we coordinate one's living trusts and family estate planning goals to protect one's hard-earned assets. Furthermore, we assist real estate investors in coordinating their asset protection, estate planning, and real estate goals. A living trust must be appropriately coordinated with one's real estate properties.
- Real Estate Legacy Planning - we help provides a family with Real Estate Legacy and Succession Planning by passing one's investment and vacation properties to minimize or eliminate estate taxation, real estate taxation, capital gains taxation, and probate concerns.
- Business Structure and Use of Holding Companies - we assist real estate investors and property owners with how to best place real estate assets beyond the reach of creditors away from the concerns of lawsuits, recessions, and probate and death concerns. Tax planning is often required, coupled with asset protection, business structure planning, and estate planning. Unlike most lawyers, our law firm has the expertise to guide you and your family on utilizing a holding company that maximizes asset protection by setting up Series LLCs and other asset protection and real estate strategies to maximize asset protection and profitability.
- Real Estate Closings and Deed Preparation - we assist with residential and commercial real estate closings, including deed preparation to place real estate properties into LLCs and land trusts. Land trusts are essential for privacy, asset protection, and estate planning.
