This CLE/CPE course will provide tax attorneys and professionals an in-depth analysis of key tax considerations for family offices under current tax law and discuss the potential impact of proposed legislation. The panel will discuss cases and legislation impacting the family office industry, considerations for structuring a family office, selected tax matters, and best practices and developments in the family office industry.

Description

With the creation of significant wealth, families may consider establishing a family office--or modernizing an existing one--to oversee the family's financial affairs rather than solely relying on institutions to provide those services. The tax framework for family offices is complicated, requiring the involvement of competent advisers. With appropriate facts and proper planning, tax professionals and advisers can assist the family in establishing a family office to meet their goals and objectives and further their overall tax efficiency.

Our panel has amassed a significant amount of experience working with family offices across the United States on various tax matters and will share leading practices and developments related to forming and restructuring family offices.

Listen as our experienced panel discusses tax provisions impacting family offices, structuring considerations, income tax issues, and other planning considerations.
