Program Description:
Choosing the right entity for a real estate transaction involves consideration of business and tax law, estate planning, and financial issues. These and other factors may vary depending on the type of deal - a development project, a long-term income property, resale properties - and whether a client is an individual or an institution. Operational flexibility must be weighed against certainty and tax optimization against other objectives. The traditional model of an institutional general partner and individual limited partners often gives way to more flexible - and easier to organize - LLC structures. This program will provide you with a framework for assessing the range of entity alternatives for a real estate transaction depending on the nature of the underlying deal, discuss the tradeoffs of each, and include a discussion of estate planning issues impacting choice of entity.
