I would look over the escapees web site and all the work they have done. I know it’s tempting to look at alternatives but there is a reason Florida Texas and South Dakota are the main states used unless you have family or some ties to another state. I wouldn’t reinvent the wheel .
Familiar with Escapees. Of the 3 states mentioned, only Florida has a PPO Managed Care Plan for those under 65. Would likely use the Escapees Florida location mail service (if Florida domicile set up) and saving the 6% Florida and 1% County sales taxes is a huge savings.
If South Dakota had a PPO plan, we would set up there with their advantages and 3% sales tax.
Medical was and is our main difficulty my DW is 61 and years away from Medicare. ( I’m 66) We make too much money for subsidies. So healthcare is more of a expense than taxes in many cases. You need to look at all the aspects as they work together. Saving one time taxes in some cases may not be the best choice.
