Generational Fortunes: Estate Planning for a Family Office

Executive Summary

High Net Worth individuals face a 40% federal estate tax. For a Miami family with $100M in real estate assets, doing nothing meant writing a $40M check to the IRS. Fynex designed a 'Freeze' strategy using Family Limited Partnerships (FLPs) and Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts (GRATs) to transfer growth to the next generation tax-free.

The Landscape: Real Estate Family Office Context

Real estate is illiquid. You can't sell a building overnight to pay estate taxes.

The Breaking Point

"We want to pass this to the grandkids, not the IRS."

Family Head

Real Estate Empire

The patriarch's health was declining. Time was of the essence.

The Fynex Protocol

We moved assets into an FLP, taking a valuation discount for lack of marketability. We then sold FLP interests to a Defective Grantor Trust.
