What determines the value of the partnership interest?
First, the assets of the family partnership are valued. Any real estate must be appraised. Next, a business appraiser determines the value of the units of the family partnership. That determination boils down to the business appraiser giving his or her opinion on the discount discussed above.
That percentage discount is actually the sum of several: (a) lack of marketability, (b) minority interest, and possibly (c) others, such as limited voting rights. A discount of at least 35 percent appears to be the standard.
