TRANSACTION SPOTLIGHT
Over the last year, we were given the opportunity to work alongside a multigenerational real estate family that has substantial real estate holdings with a concentration in mixed-used properties. As part of the family’s onboarding, we reviewed their succession and estate plans and effectively developed a tax strategy that enabled their family to successfully restructure their estate plan. Our team identified several opportunities within the property holding entities to accelerate depreciation by utilizing cost segregation studies and fixed-asset studies. Our dedicated team helped the family to greatly reduce their tax burden, both currently and prospectively, and provided them with the opportunity to better manage their cash flow, while also enabling an effective transfer of the business to their younger generations.
