Trusts, 1031 Exchanges & DAOs

Specialized structures for specialized situations.

Asset-protection trusts, 1031 exchange structuring, and DAO formation for blockchain-native companies — start with a conversation, not a form.

Asset-protection trusts

A properly structured trust can shield personal and business assets from future creditors, simplify estate planning, and keep certain assets out of probate. We help you form the entity-side structure; we recommend pairing this with your own estate attorney for the trust document itself if your situation is complex.

1031 exchange structuring

If you’re selling investment real estate and want to defer capital gains tax by rolling proceeds into a replacement property, a 1031 exchange often works best when the replacement property is held in a properly structured LLC. We set up the holding entity correctly so it doesn’t jeopardize your exchange.

DAO formation for blockchain companies

Wyoming was the first state to recognize DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) as a legal entity type. If your project is governed by smart contracts and token-holder voting, a Wyoming DAO LLC gives your organization legal standing — the ability to hold a bank account, sign contracts, and limit member liability — while preserving its decentralized governance structure.

How this works with us

These are more specialized filings than a standard LLC, so we start with a conversation. Call or text us with a short description of what you’re trying to accomplish and we’ll give you a straight answer on whether it’s something we can file directly or whether you’ll also need outside counsel.

Common Questions

Quick answers

Why is Wyoming popular for DAOs?

Wyoming was the first U.S. state to pass a law explicitly recognizing DAOs as a legal entity (a DAO LLC), giving decentralized projects limited liability and legal standing without forcing them into a traditional corporate governance structure.

Do you draft the trust document itself?

We handle the entity-formation side. For complex trust documents, we typically work alongside your estate attorney — ask us and we can point you in the right direction.
