Protecting Your Wealth One Piece At A Time

Las Vegas Lawyer Helping with Business Formation

Business formation and succession planning is a common way in which good estate planning lawyers advise clients to protect assets, loved ones, and themselves. Our counsel and guidance in these areas is anything but common.

At the Law Offices of David A. Straus, we stand out from others and put our personal touch on all matters we handle for clients in Nevada. Located in Las Vegas, we serve clients with business interests and other property throughout the state. Our attorney brings more than thirty years of estate and business planning experience to serve you, and personally drafts all customizable documentation in your plan. We ensure that all necessary provisions, items, and legal language are personalized to your unique goals and needs.

Our lawyer holds an LL.M. (Master of Laws) in taxation, and is a certified public accountant (CPA), certified in Illinois only. David also holds an LL.M. in entertainment and media law. We will help you plan for local, state, and federal laws that may impact your business and your estate, ensuring that your plans are all-encompassing.

Legacy Planning: Protecting Assets and Shielding Against Liability

Business and estate planning touches all facets of life. We help parents and grandparents build lasting legacies for their children, minimizing tax exposure and setting requirements for children to receive access to trusts. We help clients find the best legally possible structures for their personal wealth and business assets so their beneficiaries and heirs can enjoy long-lasting legacies. We also help people in the entertainment industry protect and transfer intellectual property rights.

We counsel clients of all different wealth and income levels on how to address tax consequences and to safeguard against liability in savings and transactions.

Helping You Achieve Your Estate and Business Planning Goals

Nevada is an ideal state for achieving your estate and business planning goals. The Nevada self-settled, spendthrift trust (onshore trust) is one of the best in the U.S. It is a discretionary trust that allows the settlor to serve as a trustee, manage property, and direct investments even if he or she does not reside in Nevada. At least one trustee (individual, trust company or bank) must reside in Nevada and the trustmaker may not make distributions to himself or herself.

Other business entity formations that can benefit from your planning include:

  • Limited liability companies (LLCs)
  • Family limited partnerships (FLPs)
  • Nonprofit organizations, charities, and foundations
  • S-corporations
  • C-corporations

Each of these types of entities allows for different forms of asset protection-including intrafamily sales-that can ease your financial and legal burdens in life and those of your beneficiaries and heirs after your death. Proper planning can help protect you, your income, your assets, your business partners, and your loved ones from creditors, lawsuits, and predators. Nevada LLC, LLP, and domestic corporation laws are some of the best in the country.
