Creating a Plan for Your Business’s Future

The laws surrounding business and ranch succession can be confusing, and a failure to plan effectively can mean losing everything you worked so hard to build. Aspen Legacy Planning is here to provide you with everything you need to know about the process.

The steps we can take together to protect your assets include:

• Talking to you and your family about your priorities and how to best maintain the vitality of your business or ranch
• Reviewing land titles and insurance plans
• Tracking down deeds and other documents
• Deciding if gifts are appropriate inheritance while you are still living
• Determining if your leases or other agreements need to be adjusted
• Discussing your affairs with accountants and other professionals
