&lt;p&gt;Aloha:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many things involved with buying Maui Real Estate and the Fine Island Properties Team can guide you through the purchase process.&amp;nbsp; After you buy you think about decorating, etc. but one overlooked area can be Estate Planning for your new vacation home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All Estate planning should be done with the assistance of a Professional Attorney, a Tax Advisor,&amp;nbsp;and an&amp;nbsp;Escrow Title Service Company but here are some&amp;nbsp;planning techniques to think about:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Revocable Living Trust:&amp;nbsp;Provides for management of your property in life and death and can help to avoid probate.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Power of Attorney: Make sure your power of attorney allows you&amp;nbsp;to name who will care for your property should you become incapacitated and that it is legal in the state of Hawaii.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Family Limited Partnerships: An entity uses to provide asset protection for partnership property from&amp;nbsp;a creditor of a partner, and enables parents to gift, and reduces transfer tax values.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Charitable Remainder Trust: This would be great for vacation condos&amp;nbsp;here that are generating income. The trust owns the property as a charitable contribution, but the income stream&amp;nbsp;may&amp;nbsp;be retained by the grantor of the property.&amp;nbsp; This&amp;nbsp;may enable you to receive&amp;nbsp;a tax&amp;nbsp;deduction, and avoid captial gains tax on transferred property.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Fractional Interest Gift: Many condos on Maui do not allow fractional ownership.&amp;nbsp; Please refer to the CC&amp;amp;Rs for each property.&amp;nbsp; If allowed this may transfer a partial piece or fraction of the property to donees and obtain fractional interest discounts for estate and gift purposes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. Private Foundation: This would apply for many of our Luxury Homeowners here on Maui.&amp;nbsp; Use by higher wealth families to receive any otherwise taxable property as to eliminate estate taxes on the death of a surviving spouse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As previously mentioned these are tips and by no means meant to convey legal guidelines.&amp;nbsp; Please consult an Attorney licensed in the&amp;nbsp;State of Hawaii, a Tax Advisor&amp;nbsp;and an Escrow and Title Officer for further information.&amp;nbsp; I have referrals for several.&amp;nbsp; Just contact me.&amp;nbsp; To search the Maui MLS for great Maui Real Estate go&amp;nbsp;to: &lt;a href="http://www.FineIslandProperties.com"&gt;www.FineIslandProperties.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aloha, Gina Duncan, R(S), ABR, e-Pro&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;808-250-9858&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;    </content>
