Estate Planning Techniques for Small Business Owners

Overview

Life insurance has long been considered one of the primary tools for both estate planning and succession planning. For small business owners, these two planning challenges are thoroughly intertwined. This course offers a comprehensive overview of estate and succession planning. It explains how life insurance and other financial tools can be used to meet a business owner's planning needs by providing liquidity, equalizing inheritances, funding trusts, preventing estate shrinkage, and creating wealth and income for survivors. It also discusses other planning techniques that estate owners can use to prepare for the passing of property-including a business-at the owner's death.
