This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/tax CHOICES OF ENTITIES FOR HOLDING REAL ESTATE: PARTNERSHIPS By ALAN J. B. ARONSOHN The widespread utilization in recent years of the partnership form for holding real estate has been attributable to a beneficient combination of local and federal income tax laws. In earlier, simpler days, title to real estate beneficially owned by groups of individuals was more likely to be vested in a corporation or some form of trust. The primary reason for the conveyancer's preference for corporate or trust ownership of record title, as opposed to vesting title in multiple owners as tenants- in-common or as partners, was the increased ease and certainty of dealing with real property title complexities where title to the real property was vested in a separate entity (i.e., a corporation or trustee) insulated from the infirmities which might affect individual owners, such as the death, bankruptcy or incompetency of one or more of them. While the corporate or trust form retains these advantages, the increasing burden of income taxation upon the ownership of all invest- ment property and, particularly upon corporate investments, has induced the real property lawyers to search for alternatives to corporate and trust ownership which satisfy both the requirements of the practical conveyancer and at the same time ameliorate the tax burdens im- posed upon corporations.

This Article offers an explanation for this peculiar dynamic by applying insights and concepts of Karl Polanyi’s book “The Great Transformation” to IP.

INTRODUCTION When the Deepwater Horizon’s oil pipe broke open in the Gulf of Mexico, millions of people watched the underwater camera showing BP’s oil pumping into the ocean.1 BP neither owned, nor operated the rig that exploded and sank after killing eleven people.2 Still, that oil spill has gone down in history as the “BP Oil Spill.”3 BP spent nearly $62 billion to resolve the legal claims associated with the event and to restore goodwill and its reputation.4 But what if instead of the BP Oil Spill, it had been the Morgan Stanley Oil Spill?5 Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are the only two financial holding companies (“FHCs”) who benefit from a provision of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (“GLBA”), which allows qualifying FHCs to engage in the extraction and transport of physical commodities.6 In general, commodities trading by FHCs must be deemed 1.
