- Does anyone have experience with the use of an S-corporation for the transfer
- of wealth between family members? Specifically, I'm curious about LEGAL
- ways of tranferring assets from one generation to the next via a family
- held S - corporation
-
- As I see it if family members of several generations are owners of the
- corporation, they have control of the assets of the corporation. When
- the elders pass away the corporation maintains control of the assets,
- and the shares of stock are the only taxable assets in the estate.
-
- This brings up the question of how value is determined for the shares of
- stock within a closely held s-corporation. Are there ways to tie the value
- of stock to the working capital or annual profits of a company.
-
- Any comments and/or references would be greatly appreciated.
