Many people don’t realize that a trust can own a business.

Why This Matters

When a trust owns your business:

• You avoid probate
• You maintain privacy
• You create long-term control

Benefits

1. Seamless Transition

The business continues without interruption.

2. Long-Term Management

You can appoint a trustee to manage the business.

3. Controlled Distributions

Heirs don’t receive everything at once.

Ideal Use Cases

• Family-owned businesses
• Rental portfolios
• Multi-generational wealth planning

Example Structure

• You create a revocable trust
• The trust owns your LLC
• Upon death, a successor trustee takes over

Key Takeaway

Trusts aren’t just for passive assets—they’re powerful tools for business continuity.
