Estate planning is useful for everyone, but is particularly important for business owners. Trusts and other tax planning tools can be effective risk-management tools. At the Newburyport, Massachusetts, law firm of Mark J. Guay, P.C., we can help you integrate estate planning with your corporate ownership in an effort to achieve all possible tax advantages. Contact us to discuss how we can be of assistance.
Preparing for Estate Planning
Estate planning can encompass far more than how you wish your assets to be distributed upon your death. When you prepare to develop a plan with our attorney, it is in your best interest to consider the following questions:
- In a medical emergency, who will make decisions for me if I am unable to speak for myself?
- If I become incapacitated, who will handle my financial matters?
- If I become terminally ill, do I wish to be resuscitated or kept on life support?
- In the event of my death, who will become the guardian of my children?
- How do I wish to have my estate distributed and administered?
Minimizing Tax Consequences
Trusts can be put into place to minimize your estate tax consequences, thereby maximizing the amount distributed to your beneficiaries. Through careful estate planning and asset protection, we can maximize tax deductions, implement charitable objectives, and transfer your business interests with the goal of serving your best interests.
