The client owned a business which he hoped to pass onto his children, had a large 401 (k) plan, and owned real estate in several states, and was concerned about the amount of federal real estate taxes he would pay if he were to die.
- Set up new corporations, bought and sold grocery outlets, dealt with various government agencies such as the National Labor Relations Board and local land use committees, purchased and developed store sites, created subsidiaries, arranged company and store financing, prepared shareholder agreements, dealt with commercial landlords and tenants, and drafted cross easements, acquisitions and mergers, while serving as General Counsel for a billion dollar wholesale food company.
- Licensed by the State of Wisconsin to issue Title Insurance Policies and close real estate transactions, and have Real Estate Broker’s license. Personal real estate development involvement over the years include: constructing and owning personal residences, condominiums in Wisconsin and Florida, apartment buildings, self-storage units, commercial and office buildings, and investments in raw land for future development.
