Answers to the burning questions in your mind.
Will: A legal document that specifies how your assets will be distributed upon your death. It goes into effect only after you pass away and after it passes through probate.
Trust: A legal entity that holds and manages assets for the benefit of specific individuals or entities. It can go into effect during your lifetime and bypasses probate.
Which is right?: The best choice depends on your individual circumstances, assets, and goals. While a will is generally simpler and less expensive to create, a trust offers more control over assets and can provide tax benefits.
It's recommended to review your estate plan every 3-5 years. However, significant life events such as marriage, divorce, birth of a child, death of a beneficiary, or substantial changes in assets should prompt an immediate review.
Business Structure: Decide on the best legal structure (e.g., sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, corporation) based on your business goals and the level of liability protection you need.
Agreements: Draft clear partnership or shareholder agreements to outline roles, responsibilities, and procedures for resolving disputes.
Licenses and Permits: Ensure you have all necessary licenses and permits to operate legally.
Intellectual Property: Protect your business name, logo, and other intellectual property through trademarks, copyrights, or patents.
