Understanding and Managing Estate & Gift Valuations

You’ve worked hard to make sure your business thrives—in turn providing for yourself and your family. Proper planning and execution are critical to allow your business assets to end up in the hands of your chosen heirs and to avoid or defer tax for the benefit of future generations. Knowing the value of your business, or your share of it, is the crucial first step.
