Gift and Estate Tax Planning Valuation Services
A critical challenge facing many business owners is protecting the wealth that they have worked so hard to build, and ensuring that their assets are transferred to their heirs, rather than being used for estate taxes and administration costs.
Your Business Needs
If an ownership interest in a privately-held business is one of your assets, a key to gift and estate tax planning is ensuring that the value of that ownership is properly understood and that your plans protect that value as effectively as possible. A well prepared valuation can allow business owners to avoid challenges from the IRS, and, if dividing their assets among more than one heir, plan for the best way to allocate those assets.
