The LLC Question

"Can I move my LLC into the trust?" is the single most common question we hear. The answer is almost always: not directly, and here is why.

Placing an operating LLC directly into an irrevocable trust creates liability exposure for the trust. The operating entity's debts and obligations can reach trust assets. It also complicates management—the trustee must make business decisions that may conflict with fiduciary duties to beneficiaries.

The cleaner architecture: a Wyoming special purpose vehicle (SPV) held by a sub-trust. The SPV holds the operating interest. The sub-trust holds the SPV. The master trust holds the sub-trust. Three layers of insulation, each with distinct governance and liability boundaries.

This is not complexity for its own sake. It is the difference between a single wall and a fortress. Talk to Grace about your specific entity structure.
