Estate Planning
Estate planning is not only for the ‘mega-rich’. If you have assets you need an estate plan. Without an estate plan, the courts will often decide how your assets get assigned – it is costly, it is ugly and it is often completely at odds with your wishes.
So, it is about the protection of your loved ones, and in particular the ‘smart protection’ of your loved ones with smart tax and asset management. A major part of estate planning is determining the how and when of asset transfer to ensure your heirs do not overpay in taxes.
If you want your assets and your loved ones protected once you are gone, you will need an estate plan. Without one, your heirs could face huge tax burdens and the courts could designate how your assets are assigned.
t EA Sears Business Consultants, our specialists will work with you to determine what suits your specific needs. We tailor our services to your needs, whether they are simple documents in order to give you peace of mind or more detailed arrangements to cater for your complex business succession.
We can help you approach both estate planning and succession in a practical and constructive way.
The estate planning process was a lot easier than I expected, and EA Sears made it really easy dealing with what is a pretty uncomfortable subject. They provided me with an excellent detailed set of documents, covering things that I had not even thought about. If you want to ensure your family and business are protected, book in and appointment with them asap. – H.M.
