Estate planning isn’t just about what happens after you die.

It can also address what happens if you are alive but unable to manage financial matters or make certain decisions yourself.

A thoughtful estate plan can address issues such as decision-making during incapacity, distribution of assets after death and the people you want entrusted with important responsibilities.

For business owners, there is another layer: what happens to the company when you can no longer lead it?
That is why estate planning should be viewed as part of a broader life and business strategy, not simply a set of documents.

National Estate Planning Awareness Week is a good reminder to review the plan you have, or begin the one you’ve been postponing. 📞Contact our office to get started.

For women business owners, building the company is only part of the legacy.

There is also the question of what happens to everything you have built.

❓Will the business eventually be sold?
❓Transferred to family?
❓Passed to another owner?
❓Continued by your leadership team?

There isn’t one answer that works for every business owner. But there is enormous value in asking the questions while you still have the time and flexibility to make thoughtful decisions.
This National Business Women’s Week, we celebrate not only women who lead businesses today, but those intentionally preparing those businesses for tomorrow.

Business owners: your estate plan should be able to answer some important questions.

✓ What happens to your ownership interest when you die?
✓ Who can handle important matters if you become incapacitated?
✓ How does your estate plan interact with your business agreements?
✓ Who do you intend to benefit from the value you’ve created?
✓ Does your current plan still reflect your family, assets and business today?

As your business evolves, your planning needs can evolve too.

An estate plan created years ago may deserve another look after significant changes in ownership, family circumstances, assets or long-term goals.

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, that’s a good place to begin. Call our office to schedule an estate planning review.

🚨 Last-minute tax filers, this one’s for YOU! ⏰💰

October 15th is HERE! And if you’re scrambling to beat the tax filing deadline, you’re not alone!

But here’s the thing: Procrastination can be costly! Filing at the last minute increases your risk of mistakes, missed deductions, and unnecessary stress.

Remember, an extension gives you more time to FILE, not more time to PAY!

👇🏾 Be honest…are you Team Early Filer or Team Last-Minute Scramble? 😂

Your business may be one of your most valuable assets. But does your estate plan actually account for it?

For business owners, estate planning goes beyond deciding who receives personal property. It can also mean addressing what happens to your ownership interest, who has authority if you become unable to manage your affairs, and how your estate plan works alongside your business and succession plans.

🎯The goal is not simply to plan for what happens someday. It’s to create clarity for the people, assets, and business you’ve worked hard to build.

⚖️ In our latest article, we explore the key estate planning questions business owners should be reviewing.

👉 Read the full article to learn what your plan may need to address.

Saving can help you build wealth. Planning can help you decide what happens to it.

Over a lifetime, you may accumulate real estate, investments, retirement assets, insurance and perhaps one of your most valuable assets of all: your business.

Building wealth is only part of the picture.

A comprehensive estate plan considers how your assets fit together, who you want to benefit, who should make decisions when you cannot and how your wishes can be carried forward.

For business owners, the conversation may also need to account for business interests and succession.
You worked hard to build it. Make time to plan for it.

December is too late to start thinking about some year-end tax decisions.

Q4 gives business owners an opportunity to review the year while there is still time to discuss appropriate planning.

Has revenue changed significantly? Did you acquire or sell major assets? Has your ownership structure changed? Are you planning a transaction? Have major personal or business circumstances changed?

Tax planning is not simply about finding deductions. It is about understanding how business decisions and tax consequences interact.

😊Beverly Winstead’s tax practice helps individuals and business owners navigate complex tax matters and make informed decisions with the bigger picture in mind.

Before the year closes, give your tax strategy a review. Schedule a consultation with our office.

You planned for your home. Your savings. Your investments. But what about the business you spent years building?

A business interest can be part of a person’s estate, which makes coordination between business planning and estate planning particularly important for owners.

Who receives your ownership interest?
Who has the ability to operate or manage the company?
Does your estate plan align with existing business agreements?
And does the plan reflect what you actually want to happen?

For women entrepreneurs building substantial businesses and wealth, these conversations deserve a seat at the planning table.

Your business is part of your legacy. Make sure your plans recognize it. Contact us to schedule a consultation.
