ESTATE PLANNING
Succession planning is critical to supporting the Estate Planning is important, no matter the size of your estate. It allows you to dictate what happens to your assets after you are gone. Without proper estate planning your assets could end up in legal limbo for years. You have no control of who gets what and how assets are distributed. You have no control over who is the guardian of your children. This can create an unfair burden on your heirs and family. Proper planning can prevent this as well as potential savings in gift tax and estate tax. Do this for the people you love.
Life insurance has many roles in estate planning. It can provide liquidity where it is needed and can be leveraged to provide a great amount of cash to help pay estate taxes. It can also be used for estate equalization and charitable giving.
At Leary & Associates, we will work with your advisors to tailor an estate plan that meets you and your family’s goals, and we will continue to work with your advisors to ensure your plan remains up to date.
BUSINESS SUCCESSION PLANNING
Succession planning is critical to supporting the effective transition of a business from one
owner to the next; whether that transition occurs due to a planned exit by the owner like the
owner's retirement, or an unexpected or tragic event like death or disability. Without a plan in
place a thriving business could fail in an instant, jeopardizing the financial futures of all those
who rely on the business and its continued success..
A business succession plan helps you transfer ownership and management of your business in
the event of your death, retirement or disability. The plan can set the price of each owner's interest in the business, ensure that money will be available to transfer ownership of this
interest, and potentially provide a deceased owner's family with necessary funds.
​
Life insurance can fund the buy/sell and key person insurance. It can also provide liquidity to the
business when it needs most by leveraging the funds you have.
