Tax Efficient Distribution of Personal Wealth

Recommendation for Mrs.& Mr. Jack Daniels

BT Co. & Rych Associates

The Story of Yvette Daniels:

Present Status Study and Recommended Solutions for

Mrs. Yvette Daniels (wife of Tim Daniels), a French citizen

Considerations:

•Transfer of wealth upon Tim’s death would result in US Estate Taxes

•Gifts of upto $100,000 per year during the lifetime of Tim are not subject to US Estate Taxes



Proposed Structure:Tim creates a Limited Partnership with Yvette and gifts her with limited partnership interest with value $100,000 p.a.

Advantages:

•More value (of stock) can be transferred due to permitted discount for lack of control and marketability.

•Yvette cannot cash in or transfer her limited partnership interests without Tim’s consent, i.e. she cannot spend it while Tim is alive.
