Retirement and estate plans: a checklist for business owners
Article Abstract:
Business owners are advised to take certain precautions when planning for their retirement and estates. They should not tie up so many assets into custodial accounts or trusts or bestow inheritances early to heirs as they themselves, may be left without enough funds for personal expenses during retirement years. Caution should be taken when holding any assets in joint ownership with people other than a spouse since the full value of the property may be included in the estate of the first one to die.
