A business succession plan can be as crucial to your estate plan as a trust or your will. At Legacy Planning Group, we can help you plan for what should happen if a transfer of your business ownership needs to occur.

Advising You of Your Business Succession Options

Whether you want to help your business move forward without you or divest your interests to help your loved ones, Legacy Planning Group can support your goals. Our attorney has many years of experience when it comes to helping clients plan their exit from their companies.

We can help you understand and choose options that are most suited for your goals, such as the following:

• Creating buy-sell agreements so you can control how your ownership is transferred upon your incapacitation, death, or retirement.

• Establishing a grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT) to protect your assets while still benefiting from a steady stream of income for a period of time.

• Forming a private annuity by transferring ownership to a relative or another buyer in exchange for regular payments during a set period of time.

• Creating self-canceling installment notes where a buyer makes regular payments to you that are only canceled under certain circumstances.

• Forming a family-limited partnership to transfer your business interests to relatives over time.

There are many more options you can take advantage of when you want to ensure your company falls into the right hands or that selling your business interests provides you and your loved ones with valuable financial resources.
