One topic we have not covered is estate planning for business owners. You would not leave your business unattended while you take a break or go on vacation, would you? Then you do not want to leave it without direction when you are no longer here to oversee it. Your family and/or business partners need to know what steps to take. In this series our estate lawyer in Cary NC is going to review the process of creating an estate plan for your business.
One of the elements of an estate plan for a business is a succession plan. This will cover the transfer of the business to whomever you choose. There are many details involved in creating a succession plan, depending on if you are the sole owner, if you have other people to manage the business, and how you want to business to continue when you pass away.
If you plan to have someone else manage the business, you will need to delegate duties and ensure that the successors are properly trained. This is also a good step to take for when you plan to retire. Having a solid strategy in place can help your business survive without you.
