Succession Planning
This term often refers more narrowly to the internal long-term planning for ensuring key leadership roles are filled within a company or organization. At Martinson & Harder, this field of practice deals more broadly with the transfer of assets and responsibilities amongst family members. While this may relate to a family business (including farm businesses), it may also be simply a matter of long-term planning for management of a family unit’s affairs.
Encompassing the fields of both wills and estate planning, succession planning goes beyond that — dealing with the passing on and management of responsibilities and not just assets — with a view toward retirement or to be prepared in the event of illness or death.
Succession planning is a process, rather than an event, and the sooner you and your family make these preparations, the easier and more successful future transitions will be.
