@jakeclaverqfop: How the wealthy shrink a $50 million estate, on paper. Hold the assets in an LLC and get a formal valuation. You'd assume the company is worth exactly what it holds. But when you gift small slices of equity to family, the IRS allows a minority-interest discount, often 25 to 35%, because a partial stake is worth less than its share of the assets. That gap moves real wealth out of your taxable estate. Did you know gifts could be discounted like this?
