Purposeful Estate Planning for Bitcoin Generations The process of estate planning is not just facilitating the transfer of assets from you to somebody else. There are values that need to attach to this transfer, and we need to ensure the beneficiaries are prepared to receive the wealth that you’ve built, honor your legacy and have the opportunity to become the best versions of themselves. #EstatePlanning #PersonalWealth To learn more, check out the article on our website or watch the full interview on YouTube. https://lnkd.in/gT3Bry6H https://lnkd.in/gnFquu6J

Since the initial rollout of the Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”) on January 1, 2024 various states have been working on their own reporting requirements, often focusing on narrower categories of “reporting companies”. A current example is the state of New York, which recently signed into effect the LLC Transparency Act. The NY LLCTA will create a database of beneficial ownership information for LLCs that is accessible to government agencies and federal, state and local law enforcement. Reporting will occur on an annual basis and LLCs that qualify for exemptions must file an attestation of exemption with the New York Department of State within 30 days of formation or registration. While attempting to crack down on tax evasion, abuse of tenants by landlords, and employers engaged in wage theft, the NY LLCTA will ultimately affect many law-abiding individuals who are simply trying to protect their privacy through an LLC. Other states including California and Illinois are also considering similar measures. In addition to placing greater administrative burdens on individuals and corporations, state level BOI collection further diminishes the right to privacy and increases the attack surface for a data breach as this information is stored in a separate database. Moreover, states can establish more frequent data collection timelines and reporting companies are exposed to additional fines and penalties for non-compliance. Estate planning is an ever-evolving process and we maintain an open dialogue with our clients. As new state requirements continue to emerge, we continuously work with clients to optimize for privacy and find the best jurisdictions to fit their needs. For more insight on how we think about favorable jurisdictions, please read our article Choosing Favorable Trust Jurisdictions for Maximum Benefit. https://lnkd.in/gtxSmEbE To learn more about the NY LLC Transparency Act, please visit the official governor website of New York State. https://lnkd.in/gY8Gakg7

Estate Planning is an Act of Sovereignty Why do all bitcoiners need to be thinking about an estate plan? Proactive estate planning is the ultimate exercise in self-sovereignty. If you fail to create a proactive plan that the law recognizes that allows your family to privatize the process by which decisions get made in the future, then it becomes a very public and drawn-out process and odds are the decisions that get made on your behalf are not the decisions that you would make for yourself. Maintaining sovereignty of your private keys takes care of one asset, but having a proactive, intentional and intelligent estate plan exercises sovereignty over every aspect of your life. #WealthProtection #bitcoin To learn more, check out the article on our website or watch the full interview on YouTube. https://lnkd.in/gT3Bry6H https://lnkd.in/gnFquu6J
