Business Law

Have you been looking forward to the day you can retire, perhaps turn your business over to a son or daughter, or sell it? Even if you have no retirement date in mind, you need to plan for the day you cannot run your business due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness or death.   In that event,  your business will most likely be included in your estate and could be subject to substantial estate taxes.  During a most difficult time, your family may be forced to sell the business or its assets at 'fire sale' prices, which would negate all of your hard work in hopes they would reap the benefits.   

Planning for how you will exit from your business should be an integral part of your estate and retirement planning. Proper planning now can provide you with retirement income, reduced income and estate taxes, and even let you benefit a charity if you so choose, regardless of whether you transfer your business to family members at discounted values, to employees, or to an outside buyer. In today's market, the economy and trends are affecting the timing and value of business transfers.
