Many factors go into business succession planning. Some of the more common items of succession planning include buy/sell agreements, business valuation, life insurance, cross-purchase agreements, entity-purchase agreements, and power of attorney agreements. Whether you are planning on selling your business, giving it to a family member or close the business it is important for you to start a plan today.
That depends on many factors. You may be able to handle all of your asset transfer through beneficiary designations. It depends on many factors and your financial situation. A will is basically directions for probate, so having one doesn’t avoid probate. However, they great for custody and direction of your estate. A trust should be put in place if you’d like to avoid probate, pay as little tax as possible upon your death and manage your legacy after you are gone.
A business mediator is a neutral third party who helps the other parties resolve a dispute. Using a mediator is a much less expensive option and oftentimes has quicker results than trying a case through the legal system. The mediator is not emotionally invested in the case, so will focus on the facts and do their best to negotiate a resolution that is fair to all parties involved.
