Ownership Structure Comparison

Carving Pointe LLC | Heber City, Utah

Property Overview

Carving Pointe LLC is offering quarter-share ownership interests in exceptional properties located in The Pointe at Current, Heber City, Utah, adjacent to the new Deer Valley East expansion. This page compares two common methods of fractional property ownership: LLC membership and Tenants-in-Common (TIC).

Why We Chose LLC Ownership

After careful consideration of the legal, financial, and practical implications, Carving Pointe has structured this co-ownership opportunity through an LLC. This structure provides significant advantages for all co-owners.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Feature	LLC Ownership	Tenants-in-Common
Liability Protection	Strong. Personal assets protected from property-related claims	Weak. Each owner personally liable for their share of all obligations
Transfer of Ownership	Simplified. Transfer LLC membership interest; no deed required	Complex. Requires new deed recording; potential title issues
Management Structure	Defined. Operating Agreement establishes clear rules, voting, and procedures	Informal. Requires separate co-ownership agreement; harder to enforce
Partition Risk	Eliminated. Members cannot force property sale through partition action	High Risk. Any owner can file for partition, forcing sale of entire property
Estate Planning	Flexible. Membership interests easily transferred to trusts, heirs, or family members	Complicated. Requires probate; deed transfer for each succession
Creditor Protection	Enhanced. Charging order protection limits creditor remedies in many states	Exposed. Owner's interest can be subject to liens and forced sale
Tax Treatment	Pass-Through. No entity-level tax; income/losses flow to members' personal returns	Pass-Through. Each owner reports their share directly

Key Benefits of the Carving Pointe LLC Structure

✓

Asset Protection

Your personal assets remain separate from property liabilities. If an accident occurs at the property, your home, savings, and other investments are shielded.

✓

No Forced Sales

Unlike TIC arrangements, no co-owner can file a partition action to force an unwanted property sale. Exit procedures are governed by the Operating Agreement.

✓

Clear Governance

The Operating Agreement defines usage schedules, maintenance responsibilities, expense allocation, decision-making procedures, and dispute resolution.

✓

Simplified Transfers

When selling or gifting your interest, you transfer membership units rather than re-recording deeds, reducing costs and complexity.

✓

Privacy

The LLC, not individual members, appears on public property records, providing an additional layer of privacy.

Important Considerations

While LLC ownership provides substantial benefits, prospective buyers should be aware of the following:

•
Annual Filings: The LLC must file an annual report with the state of Utah (minimal cost and administrative burden).
•
Operating Agreement Compliance: All members agree to abide by the terms of the Operating Agreement, including usage schedules and transfer restrictions.
•
Financing: Some lenders may have different requirements for LLC-owned properties. Consult with your mortgage advisor.

Next Steps

Interested buyers are encouraged to review the full Operating Agreement and consult with their own legal and tax advisors. To schedule a property tour or request additional documentation, please contact us.
