Business succession issues and how we can help

On Behalf of | Apr 19, 2018 | Heirs & Beneficiaries |

There are many families in Minnesota that own their own business. These businesses have been in their family for generations or, maybe, they are a first-generation creation. Regardless, they are special for families and most want the business to remain in the family for many years to come. Most of the time, a business succession plan can accomplish these goals, but, occasionally, there are complications that arise.

There are certain situations when a business succession might not go as planned. One is a situation where one sibling expects to inherit the business because they have been working in it for years, while the other siblings disagree. Another situation is where non-family members may seek to obtain the business. Or, there can be taxes that may lead to the end of the business upon the owner’s death. Or, heirs and beneficiaries that receive the business may lack the skills necessary to run the business and keep it successful.
