Would REALLY love to hear a very in depth video about how to set this up.

[@kdeducationalcorp.3044]

Thank you for the comment @Glow0110! Great idea! Will definitely look into doing this topic for our next videos.

Should the trust be set up first or do both at the same time?

[@kdeducationalcorp.3044]

Hello Anthony! Thank you for your question. Both at the same time is preferrable if you already know you want the holding company. I hope this helps. Thanks again!

[@dioneiakunz4836]

Outstanding! Thank you for sharing this info.🙏🏼✨

Thank you! We appreciate the feedback. :)

[@kingsleyirons]

which order should you open these - llc first -> holding company -> trust? does the order in which you set these up matter? serious question. I can't seem to find the answer to this

[@kdeducationalcorp.3044]

It’s always best to set up the trust and then the corporations. However if you don’t do it this way you can restructure to fix it later but it costs some legal fees. Hope this helps! Thank you!

[@brandonlamontcooper8141]

thank you for your insight.

[@JHalle02]

If someone had insight into WHAT KIND of Trust one would use to be the middle man between myself and a HoldCo, I would rlly appreciate advice! Trying to determine what type of Trust is needed for this type of stack. Thanks!

[@kdeducationalcorp.3044]

Hello Joshua! Thank you for your comment. Typically, this would be a family trust used in this instance.

what if i have a huge lump sum of crypto i want to protect and at the same time use to invest in different companies, properties and so forth? do i use the same thing as shown in the video?

[@kdeducationalcorp.3044]

Yes, this is the basis of the structuring for what you are wanting to do. However, there are many nuances and options that would need to be discussed to ensure you get the structure the way you want it. If you’d like a free consultation with us just ask! Thank you!

What's your thoughts on setting up a Alaska trust...

[@kdeducationalcorp.3044]

Hello and thank you for your comment! Alaska trusts are fine as long as you are in Alaska, or that is where the mind and matter of the trust is. All trusts will be deemed resident where the mind and matter of the trust is. Please keep in mind that Alaska trusts would need to file any appropriate filings with the IRS. I hope this helps! Thanks again!

[@racingvenny1151]

@@kdeducationalcorp.3044 Well I did intend on getting a Ein number for the trust. One more question, Can a registered agent be the address for the trust in Alaska?

[@kdeducationalcorp.3044]

Hello @@racingvenny1151 . You would need to check with an Alaskan lawyer as these are more on the legal and registration side of things.

What is the company under Home Depot?

Hello! Sorry, can you please clarify your question as we did not mention Home Depot in the video. Thank you!

[@byungwoo1003]

I happened to watch your video. Can any Non-Profit Organization set up POOLED Special Needed Trust? I know one Non-Profit that serves the community for disabled people and they want to set up POOLED SNT. Thank you for your kind answer in advance.

[@kdeducationalcorp.3044]

Hello and thank you for your comment. We looked into this and it is a U.S. concept, not Canadian, and will not be of much help. Sorry about that. From what we can gather, there is not a specific type of non profit that is needed to set one of these up. However it would be good to speak to a lawyer in the jurisdiction you are setting it up in.

its Operating company that is own by a Holding Company that is own by a Trust ( operating -holding -trust) or Operating own by trust that its own by a Holding Co.????? (operating -trust -holding)

[@kdeducationalcorp.3044]

Hello John! Thank you for your comment. In the segment we were speaking about ,it’s the trust owning the holding company and the holding company owning the operating company. This is the standard for many structures but is not the only way to do things. Hope this helps! Thank you!

[@beautifulspirit3109]

Can a living-will own a trust ? And that trust, owning the holding company? The holding company own the LLC? What are the tax benefits of it all if possible?

[@kdeducationalcorp.3044]

Hello and thank you for your questions. A Living will is type of trust so no you would not have a living will own a trust, however the power of attorney for the living will may also be the trustee of any other trusts. The trust can of course own shares of any corporations you choose. Hope this helps!

[@kemper2870]

trust owns opco and investco/holdco....or investco/holdco is corporate beneficiary of the trust....would seem to be a better structure than trust owns holdco...holdco owns opco

[@kdeducationalcorp.3044]

Hello & thank you for your comment, @kemper2780. This depends on if you have partners or not. If you own 50% or less, there should be a hold co owning the op co, but if you are majority owner then it is best to have the trust own the op co and have the hold co or capital co a beneficiary of the trust.

The fact that someone would attempt to explain two complex topics in a couple minutes is mind boggling. Virtually useless

[@kdeducationalcorp.3044]

Thank you for your feedback. Agreed that these are complex topics and we do recommend that business owners consult with their accountants and lawyers about this. We just wanted to provide some basic information and some awareness for business owners that this may be a good option for them - at least open up a conversation and have them dig in deeper and do their own due diligence if they are interested.
