Preferred Freeze Partnership

Freeze current value to you; growth flows to heirs — no gift tax.

Overview

Contribute an appreciating asset to a partnership. You keep a 'preferred' interest paying a fixed return (like a bond). Heirs receive the 'growth' interest at low current value. All future appreciation escapes your estate, no gift-tax-return required if properly structured.
