Succession Planning

Business succession planning is part of the estate planning process. There is a variety of tools and strategies that can transfer control while minimizing the tax impact. For example, establishing a family limited-liability company (LLC) will allow the owner of a business to transfer the value of the business assets to family members while still allowing the business owner to retain control over those assets. Ask our San Diego estate planning attorney how we can help secure a bright future for your family-owned business.
