Assigning LLC Interest to Trust in Florida
Aligning your LLC ownership with your trust is one of the smartest ways to ensure business continuity, avoid probate, and protect your legacy. At De Paz Law, we help Pinellas and Tampa Bay business owners assign their LLC membership interests to their trust-providing peace of mind, clear documentation, and coordinated business and estate planning.
Why Assign LLC Interest to a Trust?
- Avoids probate: LLC interest passes directly under your trust, not through the court system
- Supports business continuity: Successor trustee steps in immediately if you're incapacitated or pass away
- Simplifies ownership transfers: Beneficiaries are set up for a smoother transition
- Aligns business and personal planning: Keeps your company and family plan working together
If your LLC interest stays in your individual name, it's subject to probate and court delays-even with a will.
How the Process Works
Prepare the assignment of interest
A legal document transfers your membership interest to your revocable or irrevocable trust.
Coordinate any required approvals
Some LLCs need member consent or operating agreement updates. We'll guide you on what's needed.
Update records and agreements
We assist with updating the LLC's internal records and (if needed) the operating agreement language.
What We Need from You
- Current operating agreement and articles of organization
- Member roster and percentage ownership
