Succession in Family Businesses
Succession issues in family-controlled and family-owned businesses and shareholdings raise complex estate planning issues. The owner will not only need to consider family interests but, just as important, the interests of the company and its employees when planning his/her succession.
A smooth transition from present ownership and possibly management to the new owner(s) and managers is obviously important to the continued success of the business. We take care to ensure that all facets of this complex process are addressed, including tax planning and asset protection issues.
