Description
Business owners have numerous tax and wealth planning issues to consider before and immediately after a buy-out transaction or transitioning a business to the next generation. Estate planners must become knowledgeable of applicable rules and regulations and implement strategies to address these issues for business owners.
In the past year, private equity buyers have been the driving force in the increase in mergers and acquisitions. Business owners considering the sale of their interests must consider the impact of such a sale on their current estate plans and ensure appropriate steps to transfer wealth, charitable giving, and minimize taxes. In addition, counsel must consider special legal and tax issues for transitioning a business to the next generation for those rolling over the business ownership to children or other family members.
Estate planners must know federal and state tax rules impacting pre-transaction planning and planning techniques available to minimize liability, such as domicile planning, choice of entity, utilizing trusts, and other vital items.
Listen as our panel discusses critical estate planning considerations before a business exit and transition, wealth planning structures, and federal and state tax issues. The panel will also discuss domicile planning strategies, utilizing trusts, and choice of entity considerations.
