How LLCs Can Protect Your Legacy: Estate Planning for Property Owners

Описание: In this episode, Ellen interviews Michael Carney, a business succession and estate planning attorney who helps property owners protect their assets and plan for the future.

Whether you own a rental property, an Airbnb, or multiple real estate investments, you’ve probably asked:

Should I put this property in an LLC?
Will it actually protect me if something goes wrong?
How complicated is it to set up?
And what happens to the LLC when I pass away?

This interview breaks down how LLCs (Limited Liability Companies) work in real estate planning, especially in California, and how they can protect both your assets and your legacy.

What you’ll learn:
The real difference between owning property in your name vs. in an LLC
How LLCs protect your personal assets from lawsuits
Whether you should create separate LLCs for different properties
Prop 13 & property tax concerns when transferring real estate into an LLC
The role of insurance as an alternative or complement to LLCs
What responsible rental property management really looks like

If you’re a landlord or property owner in California, don’t skip this. This is smart, actionable advice you can use to avoid liability and make sure your estate plan actually works.
