Estate Planning
Estate planning involves the intricate detail in managing your assets while you are alive, and then creating a plan to distribute these assets when you pass away.
Estate planning takes into account the following:
– Wills: Drafting a legally binding last will and testament to make sure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes when you pass away.
– Assurance: Identifying and providing the need for income and capital for events such as disability, severe illness, retirement, funding the acquisition of a business interest (partnership insurance) and for the maintenance of your dependants in the event of your death.
– Trusts: Advice on which trusts are best suited to your requirements as well as the formation of trusts to manage your assets efficiently.
– Buy and Sell agreements: protecting partners if one partner passes away or becomes disabled.
– Succession Planning: making sure that your business can continue to operate in the event of Death, Severe Illness or Disability.
– Taxation: considering donations tax, estate duty and capital gains tax implications.
