What determines the value of the partnership interest?

First, the assets of the family partnership are valued. Any real estate must be appraised. Next, a business appraiser determines the value of the units of the family partnership. That determination boils down to the business appraiser giving his or her opinion on the discount discussed above.

That percentage discount is actually the sum of several: (a) lack of marketability, (b) minority interest, and possibly (c) others, such as limited voting rights. A discount of at least 35 percent appears to be the standard.

It is our privilege to guide clients through estate planning decisions

Antonio is great. I work in a related industry, but my wife does not. He sat down with us and helped to get our estate in order by walking us through the trust process. My wife was very happy we took the time to protect our family and to get this crucial step in life accomplished. Thanks again!

I have just completed my trust work with Mr. Staker and I could not. be happier. I was referred to him by a prominent San Fernando Vally commercial realtor so I had high hopes when I met with him and I was not disappointed. Now I am insisting that my children go to him to make certain that their trusts are in order. Joan Riley
