Most successful businesses are owned by one or more families. Because they are family owned, these companies create many special planning challenges.

Ownership and control do not shift among non-owner managers or anonymous shareholders. Rather, succession in ownership and management is a momentous and often highly emotional process for members of the family. Frequently, these transitions are caused by the retirement or death of members of a family member. And these transitions, if not carefully planned and delicately handled, can be ruinous, damaging the family and their company.

This program provides a practical framework of trust and estate planning and succession planning for family businesses.

Part 2 topics include:

• Counseling clients on how to avoid family drama on succession
• Life insurance trust planning – or as a compensating asset to certain heirs
• Structuring private annuities to transfer a business and provide income to founders
• Self-cancelling installments notes and intentionally defective irrevocable trusts
• Use of GRATS and "redemptive freezes"
