I have spoken before about being a member of Wealth Counsel — a national network of estate planning attorneys. This membership gives me the opportunity to associate with the best and the brightest. Through that association, we publish a couple of newsletters for clients and professionals interested in estate planning, business law and asset protection for themselves or for their clients.
In the last issue of The Wealth Counselor, we took a closer look at the powerful planning opportunities that exist for the next two years with the $5 million gift tax exemption. In this issue of The Wealth Counselor, we will examine a case study that uses a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the transfer of a family business to the next generation.
Most of us have at least one client who has a family-owned or closely held business that is a major part of their estate, yet they have done nothing to plan for the succession of that business. Business exit/succession planning can be challenging because of the tax issues, family dynamics and egos. But it can also be very rewarding. As we help our clients solve these issues, we develop a closer relationship with them, and we begin to build a relationship with the next generation. This planning also strengthens our professional relationships, as we must work together with other professionals to bring about the best results for our mutual clients.
This newsletter is written for professionals and not the general public (that is code for a little more technical; there’s nothing secretive in it.) If you would like a copy mailed to you, please send us an email at info@thefisherlawoffice.com or leave us a comment here. We aren’t secluding the non-professionals. I am just giving you the typical lawyer’s disclaimer. Otherwise, good luck and good hunting.
