Hi Jim,

Thanks for the reply. Can you please also advise how to set up a trust? The attorney I used to form the LLC unfortunately is not familar with land trusts.

Thanks,

Kevin

Tax implications on deed transfer - Posted by Kevin

Hi,

I’ve bought few properties in the past under my name. I also recently formed an LLC for my real estate transactions going forward. To minimize my liability exposure for the houses I bought under my name, I’d been advised to transfer the deeds to the LLC but I am not sure what the tax consequences are. I’d greatly appreciate it if someone can shed some light on this.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

Kevin,
A question such as this is best directed to your CPA, because they know your specific situation.
You may want to ask Hyre over at the legal forum, or the financing forum.
The transfer might be a taxable event, and might not be.

I’m curious, are you intending to just deed the properties into the LLC straight?
If so, why not place them in a trust, where the LLC is the beneficial interest holder of the trust.
Thus owning the house via the trust.
Keeps ownership somewhat anonymous.

Just my two cents, good luck,
Jim FL
