#164 - LLCs, Trusts, and Asset Protection for Pilots with Adam Kintigh

Join us on October 8–9, 2026, at the M Resort and Casino in Las Vegas for the first-ever Passive Income Pilots Conference. Learn how to build smarter wealth beyond the cockpit - https://www.passiveincomepilots.com/pip-conference

Tait Duryea and Ryan Gibson sit down with Adam Kintigh of Nevada Corporate Headquarters to explain how pilots and investors can use LLCs, trusts, and business entities more effectively. They discuss why forming an LLC is only the first step, the risks of commingling funds and poor recordkeeping, and when separate entities may make sense for rentals, investments, and active businesses. Adam also shares practical ways to keep compliance simple while building stronger asset protection.
