What is the difference between business succession planning and estate planning?
Succession planning is for businesses and estate planning is for your personal estate and usually excludes your business. Business succession planning is about ensuring the continuity of your company. It is about deciding who will take over your company if you die or become disabled, or when you retire.
Estate planning is about ensuring that your wishes are respected after you die. It includes a plan to distribute property and other assets, debts, and obligations after death. It also involves choosing someone to manage certain aspects of your financial affairs, for example, paying bills, collecting income, and paying income tax.
Business succession planning and estate planning are two different things, even though they're both often confused as being the same thing. Most people don't realize that they're separate concepts, so let's clear that up right now.
