Business Succession

 

The essence of business succession planning is to put in place to deal with the proprietor, or one of them, either not wanting to or being unable to continue in the business.

 

Consider a thriving business. Over the weekend the proprietor dies. On Monday, what is the surviving spouse to be told?

 

It's a mess;

Nobody knows what is happening;

Don't know if the business will survive;

 

or

 

Don't worry, everything is taken care of;

Money will flow next week.

 

A business succession plan should lead to the second outcome.

 

Estate Planning

 

Eliminate the risk of intervening events which will divert assets.

 

With this in mind, Norbury Lawyer's approach to easte planning is a holistic one - that is, we aim, in an integrated manner, to deal with all assets a client might regard as his or hers, whether they be held personally, through a trust, in a company, in a superannuation fund or be an entitlement under a life insurance policy to ensure that the intended recipients in fact receive the intended assets.

 

Tax overlays the process. Do tax issues arise now, will they arise in the future, and are there alternatives that give a better tax outcome? Can the estate be structured in a tax effective manner?
