What Will Happen to My Business if I Die? Part 2
In our last article, we discussed the ramifications of not having a succession plan in place for a business. In this article, we will discuss the role of a fiduciary of an estate, and how an individual in that role can ensure the business continues to operate if the owner passes away.
In order to continue running the business of a deceased person, someone must be appointed as the fiduciary. This is all dependent on whether there is an estate plan in place, namely if the owner has a Last Will and Testament that must be probated with the local Surrogate’s Court.
