[WSBAPT] Inc/LLC Tree

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

Question to the hive mind:

PC has called - tells me about how he worked with a Nevada adviser to establish multiple LLC and Inc (based in Wyoming) around a multitude of trusts. 

Now here is what a i know after one call:

over the WA estate tax threshold, not over IRS threshold. single, one adult child about to have first grandchild. 

From an estate planning perspective only - will Washington recognize out of state entities where there is no contact with that state? I thought there was a Supreme Court case where the Grantor tried to create an out of state (thought it was Alaska) trust and the Court said, in essence, you can’t just pick a state and say that law controls without having some contact with that state. But now I can’t find it….likely because i’m trying to search too fast. 

Did i dream this case up?

If this is a legitimate planning strategy that I just don’t know - please send me your referral. It just seems like smoke and mirrors and a way for someone to make a small fortune off this person by creating a handful of entities for him.
