Everyone needs to plan ahead for what happens when they can no longer be called upon longer call the shots. Too many people only become concerned with estate planning near the end of their lives, but the truth is that it’s something they should be thinking about long before it may potentially be needed. Estate planning allows you to determine how your medical decisions will be made in the event that you can’t voice your wants and needs and it also uses different techniques to facilitate the transfer of your assets after you pass away. It’s essential to begin planning for the future, and there’s no time to do so like the present.

Each and every situation is unique, so your plan must be as well. Here are some of the ways that the Law Office of Michael Robinson can help you secure your future and the futures of the ones you love most.

An experienced attorney can assist you in choosing an appropriate structure for your organization, set up contracts to protect your personal investment in the business, and keep your personal assets safe. Don’t leave the future of your business—your personal future—to chance.

Family-Owned Businesses & Farms

You have worked hard for your entire life to leave behind a legacy, but unfortunately, more than 70% of family businesses won’t survive a transition to the next generation. The probate process and fighting among heirs can both undermine business operations, but the one issue that most commonly plagues a business are estate taxes. By using strategic methods of transferring ownership, Medicaid planning, incorporation, trusts, and joint-ownership, we can help to prevent your loved ones having to face selling off what they inherited in order to pay taxes for it. We can help you to create a plan today that will protect your family legacy tomorrow.
