Business Continuation Agreements
It can be challenging to plan your estate when you are one of the owners of a closely held business. The other partners may want to continue running the business after you pass away. How do you arrange for your share to be distributed among your heirs?
This can be accomplished through the creation of a buy-sell agreement.
There are different types of buy-sell agreements. With the cross-purchase plan, the value of an ownership share is determined. Each partner purchases life insurance on every other partner.
After the death of one partner, the life insurance proceeds are used to purchase the share that was owned by the deceased partner.
As an alternative, the business entity itself could purchase the life insurance on the shareholders. This is called the redemption plan.
A business continuation agreement can be an integral part of your estate plan if you are a partner in a closely held business.
Family Limited Partnerships & Limited Liability Companies
It is important to protect your personal assets if you are a business owner. This is often accomplished through the creation of family limited partnerships and limited liability companies.
With these legal structures you are separating your personal financial assets from assets that are the property of the partnership or limited liability company.
