Clients often arrive with a concrete request: update an estate plan, value the business, prepare a buy-sell agreement, or discuss retirement timing.

That request tells you what feels urgent. It may not reveal what could derail the plan.

An owner’s financial dependence on the business could delay the transfer. A successor may have limited experience leading the management team. Family members may hold different expectations about ownership.

Before recommending a solution, advisors need a clear view of the conditions surrounding the request.

• Burned out
• Reactive
• Emotionally resistant
• Behind on leadership development
