[§7. 1] Overview  \nThe “family limited partnership”(FLP) is not a specific legal entity. The phrase is a popular description for a limited partnership governed by particular terms and conditions in the partnership agreement that meet specific goals for family enterprises and wealth. They can differ from or add to the goals of enterprises that are owned by unrelated people. Drafting for a commercial enterprise involves terms associated with arm’s length negotiations by unrelated parties. When the partnership concerns a family business or family wealth, noncommercial considerations become important. Those considerations are referred to as “family limited partnership planning.” However, to enjoy the benefits ofFLP planning, family members must deal with the partnership and with each other about partnership matters in the manner that unrelated parties normally deal with each other at arm’s length.  \nFLP planning integrates proper and technically correct drafting with various legal and financial disciplines, while also requiring effective counseling of clients about the proper conduct ofthe new legal and financial regime that they have adopted.  \nThe limited liability company (LLC) entity is an alternative business entity vehicle for FLP planning becau","cbCaib9L6zWghEID","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib9L6zWghEID","pdf",2060270,110,"English","# Introduction\n## Overview\n## Income And Estate Planning Issues\n## Limits On Liquidations And Transfers Of Interests\n## Creation Of Family Limited Partnership\n## Capital And Tax Structure\n## Operational Issues\n## Termination Of Entity Or Ownership\n## Ethical Considerations\n## Planning Checklist\n## Samples","[{\"question\":\"What does “family limited partnership” mean in this chapter?\",\"answer\":\"It is described as a popular term for a limited partnership governed by specific terms in the partnership agreement that target family enterprise and wealth goals.
