Year-End Tax Planning: Strategies for Individuals and Businesses | Webinar
Many of the most valuable tax planning tactics must be evaluated before December 31. Proactive planning now can help uncover opportunities before the year closes. Join Weaver’s tax professionals for a two-part webinar on-demand series designed to help individuals and businesses navigate today’s tax landscape and identify actions to consider before the close of the year.
Beyond Tax Deferral: The Strategic Benefits of a Section 1031 Exchange
When most investors think about a Section 1031 exchange, they may focus on a key benefit: the ability to defer capital gains taxes and depreciation recapture upon the sale of investment real estate. While tax deferral is valuable, the benefits can extend well beyond the immediate tax implications of a sale. A properly structured 1031 exchange can help real estate investors preserve capital for reinvestment while adapting their portfolios to changing financial and operational priorities.
The Tax Decisions Behind a Family Office Real Estate Strategy
Real estate has long played an important role in family office portfolios because of its potential to generate income, preserve capital and provide a hedge against inflation. For multigenerational families, however, its value can extend well beyond the performance of the underlying property. How a family acquires, owns, finances and ultimately transfers real estate can materially affect its after-tax economics. Entity structure influences how income and depreciation flow through to family members.
Transfer Pricing and the Risks Facing Family Office Governance
Family offices increasingly operate through complex networks of investment vehicles, operating businesses, trusts and shared-service entities. As those structures grow, so does the volume of transactions occurring between related entities. Management fees, cost allocations, intercompany loans and intellectual property arrangements can all influence where income accumulates, how expenses are shared and how value moves throughout a family enterprise.
Section 2701 and the Transfer Planning Risks Facing Family Offices
Many family office succession strategies are designed around a simple objective: transfer future appreciation to the next generation while preserving financial stability for senior family members. In practice, achieving both goals within the same structure can create significant transfer tax complexity. That complexity often centers on Internal Revenue Code Section 2701.
Estate Planning for Business Owners: Managing Liquidity, Taxes and Succession
For owners of closely held businesses, estate planning is rarely just about transferring wealth. When most of an individual’s net worth is tied to the business itself, decisions about taxes, liquidity, control and succession become inseparable. As business owners begin to transition or exit their companies, coordinated planning is essential to protect personal legacy, support family needs and preserve business continuity.
Family Offices and Real Estate Succession
The largest generational handoff of real estate in U.S. history is approaching, and for many families, it’s happening faster than they think. Properties held for decades, even generations, by high-net-worth individuals are moving toward heirs whose lifestyles, priorities and financial expectations may look very different from those who built the original portfolios. This shift involves far more than navigating tax rules or updating legal documents.

Creating Clean, Carbon-Free Classrooms in Salt Lake City

Ardolf had terrorized a neighboring family for two years through a carefully planned campaign involving a hijacked Wi-Fi network to harass, frame and embarrass the next-door neighbors in every facet of their lives. Ardolf’s obsessive passive-aggression was apparently ignited in late 2008 when his neighbors, Matt and Bethany Kostolnik, filed a police report against him.

The Rise of Digital Music Subscriptions
It’s no secret that the music industry has undergone huge growing pains over the last decade in the shift from analog to digital. The record labels and publishers have struggled to protect their catalogs and properly compensate their artists, without alienating the fans who got used to downloading music for free. As a result, the rights owners have had to find new revenue streams in order to adequately monetize their creative assets.
