Rich families across the globe are concerned about how to prepare their children to manage their wealth, but few are doing anything about it. According to a survey by JPMorgan, 69% of ultra-wealthy families cite succession planning as a top priority. That said, she attributed some of the reluctance to many of these family offices being formed within the past 10 or even five years. "Conversations about wealth can be challenging and, in our experience, families often have found it difficult to get started," she told Business Insider. Only 15% of family offices with at least $1 billion in assets kept heirs unaware compared with 27% for firms with $50 million to $500 million.

The richest 0.1% of Americans own $1.8 trillion in real estate, according to the Federal Reserve. Currently, individuals and married couples can gift or bequeath $13.61 million and $27.22 million, respectively, before a 40% federal estate tax kicks in. Here are nine little-known techniques that wealthy real estate owners use to pay less to Uncle Sam:Qualified personal residence trusts, better known as "QPRTs," effectively freeze the value of a real estate property for tax purposes. With an FLP, an individual — often a parent or two parents — pools their business assets, commonly real estate or stocks. The heirs don't own the trust assets, but rather have lifetime rights to the trust's income and real estate.

The banks, in turn, make shareholders happy by reporting lower compensation costs since deferred compensation is marked as a liability. At Morgan Stanley, advisors forfeit this pay if they leave for another employer before four years of service. This ruling was used by a lawyer on another case, Alan Rosca, to secure a $3 million judgment against Morgan Stanley on March 25. In November, Morgan Stanley successfully fought off a class action attempt by 12 ex-Morgan Stanley advisors. Lawyers told Business Insider that the award and the ruling in Shafer v.

And yet, Walton's wife and children didn't have to pay a dime in estate tax. With an FLP, an individual — often a parent or two parents — pools their business assets, which are commonly real estate or stock. There are pragmatic reasons for keeping family business assets consolidated, according to Dan Griffith of Huntington Private Bank. Another sweetener: you can claim a discount on the assets within the FLP and use even less of your estate tax exemption. This would eliminate all gift and estate tax on the business even if the couple dies after the Trump tax cuts sunset.
