Ensuring Your Estate Plan Matches Your Business Goals
You may be wondering, is now the best time to draft my estate plan? I am young, I am healthy, and my business is thriving.
The short answer is: yes.
There is no better time than right now to be proactive for those you love. Tragedy is random, and as much as you do not want to consider the concept, it is best to be prepared. If the unthinkable happens without the proper plan in place, your life's work: your family and your business could be left floundering.
Many individuals, especially those with substantial assets, opt for a trust to provide detailed and secure directions for how their property, funds, and investments will transfer after they are gone. A trust is optimal because it completes the hard work of how assets will be distributed up front and can be simple or more complex depending on the individual's needs. Without a trust, assets pass through probate: a tiresome court process that prompts attorneys to be hired and assets to be handled through routine procedures rather than with special care.
Probate is generally not an enjoyable process for heirs and beneficiaries, and it does not always follow the expected course. Trusts, on the other hand, allow maximum control over the process.
At Krogh & Decker, LLP, we take a wide-angle lens to your financial picture curating an estate plan that evolves with you while avoiding unnecessary tax consequences and keeping the best interest of your business and loved ones in mind.
