Plan for your family and your company after you pass away
On behalf of Kadish & Associates Law Group posted in Estate Planning For Business Owners on Thursday, November 29, 2018.
Taking care of your family when you pass away is a primary concern of most adults. When you own a business, you have to ensure that the business will also be taken care of. This is especially true if you want the company to provide for your family members. Your estate plan needs to address both of these areas of your life.
We know that it isn’t easy to think about the end of your days; however, you will find that being able to set things up now gives you a sense of peace that allows you to enjoy your life. You don’t have to worry about what is going to happen when you pass away. By setting up your estate plan now, you are making a way for your family members to be able to focus on the emotional healing process that comes after the death of a person they are close to.
As you set up your estate plan, think carefully about how you want everything to work. You can’t plan only for what comes after you pass away. You also need to set things up for what will happen if you are unable to make decisions on your own. Someone will need to make financial and medical decisions for you. Decisions regarding the business will also need to be made by someone.
All of this is a lot to think about, but creating your estate plan doesn’t have to be difficult. You can take things one component at a time if necessary. We are here to help you throughout the process.
