It is an incredibly difficult situation, and unfortunately, it happens more often than many business owners realize.
When a business owner dies, the family may need to make immediate decisions about contracts, taxes, employees, ownership, and daily operations, all while grieving. They must also decide whether they want to continue the business, sell it, transfer it to an heir, or close it.
Because these situations can involve both business law and estate planning, Chelsea and Lauren often work together to help families understand their options and determine the next steps.
