What We Assess:

1. Entity Structure

• Overall strategy: Do your LLCs, Corps, and Trusts align with your earning + investment + transfer strategy?

• Compliance: Are you mixing ownership and control in ways that trigger tax or probate?

• Alignment: Are your entities aligned, coordinated, and in-sync with each other or misaligned, disjointed, and mismatched?

2. Estate & Tax Exposure

• Asset inventory: What’s in your estate vs. removed from it?

• Compliance: Have you filed proper gifting forms (e.g., Form 709)? Is there a trustee in place?

• Potential disputed: Are your assets at risk of double probate, valuation disputes, or IRS clawbacks?

3. Insurance, Crypto, Real Estate & IP

• Asset holding: Are these structured properly to avoid estate inclusion?

• Basis allocation: Is there a plan for cost basis, access, and inheritance?

• Transfer mechanism: Are you using the right transfer mechanism for each asset class - they are not the same.

4. Foundation & Philanthropy Potential

• Tax Conversion & Reinvesting: Could your taxes fund a philanthropic and legacy project? If so, how?

• Strategic Giving: Are you using strategic giving to reduce income or estate taxes - are you documenting the gifts & donations?

• The Wild-Card: Have you aligned the estate plans, business plans, exit strategies, or tax reduction strategies with the foundation?

5. Integration & Flow

• Alignment: Are your lawyer, CPA, financial advisor, and insurance agent aligned and operating from the same playbook?

• Flow Like Water: Do your entities flow like water — or are they fighting each other?

• The Boardroom: Are your advisors meeting, strategizing, brainstorming, and formulating strategies as a team or in silos?
