Estate Planning for Business Owners

Fogelsville Business Estate Planning Attorneys

An essential part of any business owner's estate plan is the proper utilization of business planning documents such as buy-sell agreements or shareholder agreements. At Snyder & Wiles, PC, our business estate planning lawyers help business owners from the initial start-up of their companies through the planning stages in order to plan thoroughly for the future.

Business estate planning is not just about avoiding death taxes: a complete estate plan can help business owners protect their investments and ensure continuity in their businesses after they are gone. 

It is very important to carefully consider how your retirement, disability or death may impact your business. To schedule a consultation with attorneys that have significant business estate planning experience, contact Snyder & Wiles, PC, today.

Covering All Your Bases - Planning for Your Business' Future

Each type of business is different from its competitors and other types of businesses. A business owner must carefully consider how the business - which may be a corporation, limited liability company (LLC), limited liability partnership (LLP), or sole proprietorship - will fare when he or she leaves the company, becomes disabled or dies.

At Snyder & Wiles, PC, our attorneys consult tax experts and accountants when necessary to develop suitable business estate planning strategies to create business succession plans and avoid death taxes. To ensure the livelihood and continuity of your business after your death, we identify and draft proper business planning tools, such as:

• Buy-sell agreements, for partnerships
• Shareholder agreements, for corporations
• Operating agreements, for LLPs and LLCs

With these business estate planning documents, you can help ensure that your business partners and family members are not harmed by your death. Operating and partnership agreements initially help your partnership or family-owned business get its start, but they also help avoid death taxes and problems in probate and provide management planning for the future.
