Entity Structuring & Succession Planning

As part of the estate planning process, it sometimes becomes apparent that your estate planning should not only address your personal assets, but also should consider and cover matters such as the succession of businesses, companies or trusts. 

​

Ashton Estate Lawyers are able to not only identify when those issues are relevant, but to advise and offer you options to consider such as how you may want to manage the transition of intergenerational assets to your beneficiaries.  This can include arrangements for the appointment of a new trustee of a family trust upon your passing away, appointments of attorneys to enable continued business operation if you suddenly were to pass away or become incapacitated, and other mechanisms to ensure the orderly transition of businesses and legal entities in a manner best tailored to your intentions.

​

Ashton Estate Lawyers are pleased to advise and assist in these matters, whether as part of your estate planning or as a one-off review of your entities and structures, and can assist you in creation of family trusts or company incorporations.  Contact us for a free 15-minute telephone conversation to discuss your needs, and we would be happy to assist you in effectively structuring your entities and businesses so as to minimise uncertainty and disorder if anything happened to you.
