What Estate Tools Can Help Protect My Business?

To safeguard your business, you may wish to consider several estate planning tools, such as:

  • Trusts: The right kind of trust can be a powerful tool for business protection.
  • Family limited partnerships: This type of business entity is especially valuable for family-run businesses.
  • Power of attorneys: These documents authorize a trusted individual to make decisions in the event that you are unable to do so.

Beyond estate planning tools, other types of legal tools for succession planning include:

  • Business succession plans: A well-crafted plan provides a strategic framework for a smooth transition of business ownership and management.
  • Buy-sell agreement: This type of agreement specifies the process for reallocating a partner’s business interest in the event of their death or departure from the business.
  • Private annuities: A business sale can be structured to provide you with an income stream.

These tools collectively help support the ongoing success of your business. However, the legal landscape is ever-changing, and understanding these shifts is essential for setting your business up for continued success. Attorney Taren Castro can help interpret these changes and advise on the best course of action.
