M Amin Asset Protection for Rental Properties
11 March 2025 | 4 replies
Courts in many states have not fully tested or upheld the liability protections of Series LLCs, and some jurisdictions do not recognize them at all.Key Issues with a Series LLC for Rental Properties:🚫 Not universally recognized – Some states do not respect the liability separation between series, making enforcement uncertain.🚫 Piercing the veil risk – If formalities aren’t followed precisely, a court could collapse the series into one entity.🚫 “Common enterprise” concerns – If a single management LLC collects rent, signs leases, and maintains properties for all series, a court could argue there’s a shared enterprise, which might allow a plaintiff to target all series under one lawsuit.Better Alternative for Asset ProtectionA stronger structure that provides better legal separation and lawsuit protection is:1️⃣ Each property in a separate traditional LLC – This ensures clear separation and prevents legal issues with the Series LLC’s untested structure.2️⃣ Asset Management Limited Partnership (AMLP) – The LLCs should be owned by an AMLP, which acts as a liability firewall against creditors and judgments.3️⃣ A Bridge Trust® for maximum protection – If a major lawsuit occurs, the AMLP can be held by a Bridge Trust®, allowing assets to move offshore if needed.4️⃣ An operating LLC to handle management – Keeping rent collection and property management separate from ownership limits liability exposure.Why This Works Better:✔ Legally tested – Traditional LLCs have clear case law backing their liability protections.✔ No “common enterprise” risk – Since the AMLP, LLCs, and operating entity are legally distinct, it’s harder for a court to collapse them into one entity.✔ Protection beyond LLCs – If a major lawsuit occurs, the Bridge Trust® moves ownership offshore, making it extremely difficult for creditors to seize assets.Final Takeaway:A Series LLC has too many uncertainties for serious asset protection.
