I know a lawyer that accomplished this with a trust

I’m not sure the details but somehow it was possible to effectively transfer the shares low key and receive payment

Typically, your boilerplate startup options agreement allows for a one time transfer into a trust for estate planning purposes. Theoretically, the trust beneficiary would then be updated from the options recipient to their investor counterparty.

That interesting. Ironically I did create a personal trust and they never got back to me on transferring ownership to my trust.

yes, trusts can have any instruction set with no public filing, and swapping the beneficiary being the simplest aspect

good to know this kind of transfer is already permitted, I wondered about that
