A few months of long-term care could devastate your personal and business assets. Succession planning must include care cost protection.
Few business owners realize how quickly personal care expenses, often over $10,000 per month, can affect not only their savings but also their company. Without a plan, succession goals can unravel under financial pressure.
Our business planning approach integrates long-term care protection, helping you conserve resources and ensure a smooth transition for the next generation.
As business owners age or face unexpected health issues, it’s crucial to appoint a successor who can carry the torch.
With detailed planning, you define how and when authority is transferred, ensuring your business is run exactly as you’d want.
For business owners, a durable financial power of attorney ensures a trusted individual can manage personal and business-related finances if you’re unable to do so.
This authority is only triggered under conditions you define, maintaining continuity without sacrificing control.
Protect your health and legacy by assigning medical decision-making power to someone reliable. With your written instructions, your care will reflect your values, even in emergencies.
With an advance directive in place, you take control of your medical future, clearly indicating which life-sustaining interventions you consent to, so your values are respected without guesswork.
