Business Succession Planning

Passing a business to the next generation—or to key employees—requires more than a handshake. It takes foresight, structure, and understanding of both business realities and family dynamics. DK Legal crafts customized business succession plans that preserve continuity, minimize conflict, and align with your estate planning goals.

What we do for you:

• Structure ownership transfers to family members, partners, or key employees
• Develop buy-sell agreements and valuation formulas
• Coordinate business succession with wills, trusts, and tax planning
• Balance fairness among heirs both inside and outside the business
• Work with accountants and advisors to ensure smooth implementation
• Prepare contingency plans for disability, retirement, or sudden death

Common situations we handle:

• Family-owned businesses with active and inactive heirs
• Transitioning ownership to trusted managers or employees
• Partnership and shareholder exit planning
• Avoiding forced liquidation or tax traps
• Ensuring business continuity when an owner passes

We focus on keeping your company thriving while protecting family harmony. Whether your goal is generational transfer or sale, we help you plan ahead—so your business and legacy endure.
