Join Whittier Trust’s Victoria Kahn, Sr. Vice President, Nevada Regional Manager, Nevada Office and James Parks, Executive Director, CBIZ (a leading member of their Los Angeles office) Director, Board of Directors of Whittier Trust, along with moderator Barbara Spector, Editor-in-Chief and Associate Publisher of Family Business Magazine, as they discuss the many advantages of establishing a trust in the state of Nevada.
Nevada has some of the most innovative trust laws and offers attractive income tax advantages for high net-worth families and business owners. As a leading jurisdiction for trusts, Nevada allows families and individuals to employ several strategic advantages that may not be available in other states — even if you don’t call the Silver State home. Families and individuals can take advantage of these benefits by establishing an irrevocable trust with a Nevada trust company as Trustee.
In this webinar, you will learn more about the advantages Nevada has to offer, including:
- Favorable tax laws: No state income tax on individuals or trusts and no state transfer taxes.
- Advantageous asset protection laws: Protecting family and trust creators from creditors, former spouses, and other dangers.
- A trust-friendly environment and cutting-edge laws: Flexibility for unique assets like real estate and businesses, and greater control for trust creators.
- Maximization of intergenerational wealth transfer, allowing trust creators to leave lasting legacies for many generations.
