Family LLCs for multi-generational asset holding, estate planning, and intra-family business management. Combine with trusts for full estate planning.

Wyoming anonymous LLC, multi-member with family members. Parents typically retain manager-level control while children hold non-managing membership interests. Often combined with a revocable living trust (assets pass through trust at death) and/or a Wyoming Domestic Asset Protection Trust for highest protection.
Family wealth attracts scrutiny — from in-laws, ex-spouses of children, and creditors of any family member. An anonymous LLC keeps the family's intergenerational asset structure off Secretary of State records. Combined with trust planning, it provides both anonymity and orderly succession.
Strong asset protection. No state income tax. Operating agreement supports manager-managed structure where parents retain control while children own equity. Wyoming Domestic Asset Protection Trust pairs cleanly for higher-net-worth families.
| State | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wyoming family LLC | $397 | Base structure. Operating agreement is the load-bearing document. |
| Wyoming LLC + DAPT | Custom | Domestic Asset Protection Trust for highest-net-worth families. Requires Wyoming counsel. |

Wyoming Domestic Asset Protection Trust is one of the strongest asset-protection vehicles in the US. Combined with an LLC, it provides separation from creditors plus testamentary planning.
Operating agreement decides. Common: parents retain manager control; kids hold non-voting membership interests that vest into voting rights at age 21 or 25.
