Business Succession Planning 

Our business and estate planning lawyers assist individuals, privately held businesses and larger corporations throughout Ohio, Kentucky and Florida establish a succession plan to ensure their business continues its profitability from one owner to the next, while at the same time, structuring a plan for retirement for the current owners.

If you own a business, it is vitally important that your estate planning includes provisions for your business. As a business owner, it is likely that a significant portion of your wealth - and your family's source of income after your death - is tied up in the family business. The success of your estate plan depends upon the business being transitioned to the next generation or sold to someone outside the family for a fair price. Either result takes planning and preparation.

• Minimizing taxes
• Buy-Sell agreements
• Ownership transfers
• Life insurance
• Protecting and dividing your business assets
• Gift planning

With so much at stake, it’s wise to meet with a business and estate planning attorney to help you work through this process.
