 Whether you own a business or any other valuable
asset, it is important to have a succession plan to make sure that your assets
live on in safe hands. A Self Cancelling Installment Note (SCIN) can be a very
beneficial and creative way of setting up a succession plan. A SCIN works in a
similar fashion to an installment sale with some key differences. Under such a
succession framework, the party setting up the plan sells an asset to one or
more family members or buyers. The buyers pay for the asset in installments in
the same way that they would under an installment sale, but upon the death of
the seller, the remaining balance is canceled. |

 It is National Estate Planning Week! (ok so we had to declare it for ourselves!) What is estate planning and what are the basics you ask? Why is it important? Estate planning is a process utilizing the advice of trusted advisers to assist you with decisions about how to protect and distribute your assets(including your business if you own one) when you pass away, who should pay your bills and take care of your monetary affairs for you in the event that you are living but unable to take care of them yourself, and also who should make medical decisions for you based upon your wishes in the event that you are injured but cannot communicate your desires clearly. |

 A formal buy sell agreement is between owners of a business to determine how the ownership of the business shall be disposed of upon the death or other circumstances of exit of one of the owners. The owners commonly use life insurance to fund the value. With two business owners, a cross purchase plan is the preferred method of ownership of the life insurance. This is where partner A owns a policy the life of on Partner B and vice versa. These policies are individually owned, and can be paid for from company money. |

 You would sound an alarm if someone walked off with half of your money or your household possessions right? If you are a business owner with partners and have not put a Buy/Sell Agreement in place you could watch part of your business walk right out the door and never know what hit you. A Buy/Sell Agreement is a must. This is an agreement between business owners that spells out the terms by which any of you are allowed to be compensated for your share of ownership of the business upon certain events occurring. |

 Just like moving into a new house, starting a business can be so exciting! Getting your concept off the ground and going gets the adrenaline pumping!!! But what about the formation of your business and making sure the foundation is strong and stable? You buy homeowner's insurance to protect your new house - so why would you not get the same type of insurance policy for your new business.... yes, you would get property and casualty insurance, but your business lawyer can provide a huge amount of protection as well. |
