The sale of Family Limited Partnership (FLP) interests (see our separate explanation of a FLP) to a Grantor Trust (GT) (see our separate explanation of a GT) is a concept that is based upon utilizing a number of legal principles that otherwise would not be connected. The appeal of this technique is that it uses rules that are mandated, based upon the relevant provisions of the Code, revenue rulings, and case law. Creative structuring, financial modeling, and careful drafting of legal documents are at the heart of this concept.
