All too often, small business owners are simply too busy working in their business to devote adequate time to working on their business. This means that most small companies operate without the benefit of a succession plan. Little or no thought has been given to what happens if the owner and leader suddenly dies or becomes disabled.
Our principal attorney, Justin L. Scott, assists small businesses, individuals and families throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania in establishing business succession plans designed to ensure that the business would either continue or be sold in an orderly fashion should an unexpected crisis occur.
In the estate planning context, we offer a thorough of review key corporate and partnership documents, wills and trusts, insurance policies, deeds, contracts and any other pertinent paperwork.
We are happy to work with your existing financial team but are also in a position to connect you with other professionals.
