    Icon Image
    Trust and Estate Planning and Business Succession
    The key to determining which trust, tax and estate strategies to execute is to understand the interplay of personal and exogenous factors. Liquidity events such as an initial public offering or a merger or acquisition may provide income and estate planning opportunities. Liquidity events also magnify the need to put in place or update certain essential estate planning documents.
