Gift FLP interests to kids at 25–35% valuation discount — turbo-charge estate reduction.
Fund a Family Limited Partnership (or LLC) with real estate, marketable securities, or business interests. General partner (parents) retains control; limited partner interests gifted to kids/trusts qualify for 25–35% valuation discounts (lack of marketability + lack of control) for gift/estate tax purposes. $190K annual exclusion equivalent effectively transfers $260K+ in underlying value. IRS scrutinizes (§2036 retained-interest, Powell case) — need real business purpose + genuine partnership.
