What Is a Family LLC?

A family LLC is a legal entity formed to protect the property or investments of its members. Members must be blood relatives or related through marriage to be eligible. Under an LLC's operating agreement, control may be given to specific family members such as parents, or each member may have an equal say.

What Are the Benefits of a Family LLC?

A family LLC can be an important component of a comprehensive estate plan offering asset and liability protection and allowing estate tax transfers every year. An effective family LLC will include restrictions on transfer rights and ownership. In general, the following assets may be held by a family LLC:

  • Rental properties and real estate holdings (excluding a personal residence, which is better handled in a trust);
  • Brokerage accounts and investment assets such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds; and
  • All or any portion of a family business or startup.

While having a business is not a prerequisite, a family LLC is a great asset protection strategy for family businesses and closely held family ventures. Another benefit of a family LLC is charging order protection. This helps protect the assets in the LLC from creditors and judgments.
