Sooner or later, everyone wants to retire.
But if you own a family business, retirement isn't as simple as just not going into the office any more.
Not only do you need to ensure you have a sufficient amount of money upon which to retire, you must consider what will happen to the business upon your retirement or in the event of your death.
Business succession planning seeks to manage these issues, setting up a smooth transition between you and the future owners of your business.
With family businesses, succession planning can be especially complicated because of the relationships and emotions involved - and because most people are not that comfortable discussing topics such as aging, death, and their financial affairs.

When a loved one passes away, his or her estate often goes through a court-managed process called probate or estate administration where the assets of the deceased are managed and distributed.
If your loved-one owned his or her assets through a well drafted and properly funded living trust, it is likely that no court-managed administration is necessary, though the successor trustee needs to administer the distribution of the deceased's assets.
The length of time needed to complete the probate of an estate depends on the size and complexity of the estate and the local rules and schedule of the probate court.
