Helping Families Preserve and Protect Assets and Values
Estate Planning for Business Owners and Their Families Why Should I Use My Business to Help Fuel the Growth of My Estate Outside My Business Interest?
Sat, 12/27/2008 - 23:03 — dougvann
As we have discussed in the past Exit Planning Review™ articles, there are six
critical questions that owners need to answer when creating an estate plan that
supports an overall comprehensive Exit Plan. These questions include:
- How can I provide for an equitable distribution of my estate among my children?
- Who should control and eventually own the family business?
- How can I use my business to help fuel the growth of my estate outside of my business interests?
- How do I provide for my family’s income needs, especially those of my spouse and dependent children, after my death?
- How can I help preserve my assets from the claims of creditors during my lifetime and at my death?
- How can I work to minimize estate taxes?
