Choosing between Family Limited Partnerships (FLPs) and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) for consolidating family assets: understanding the pros and cons.

When families consider consolidating investments or business assets through a limited liability entity, the choice between Family Limited Partnerships (FLPs) and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) requires careful assessment. FLPs involve general and limited partners, while LLCs have managing members and members.


Both structures enable asset consolidation, providing scale for investments and simplified management. The control remains with general partners or managing members, allowing them to determine distributions and retain control. Asset protection is a benefit, separating personal and business assets.

Both FLPs and LLCs offer income tax benefits and gift/estate tax advantages through valuation discounts. However, drawbacks include a lack of control for limited partners or non-managing members, personal liability for FLP general partners, ongoing costs and complexities, and tax filing requirements.


Despite these considerations, when used correctly, FLPs and LLCs can effectively consolidate family assets, offer protection, and facilitate tax-efficient transfers to beneficiaries. For more information click the link!
