Succession & Estate Planning

No one can predict the future, but you can plan for it. So when it comes time to retire or move onto something new, you need to be prepared and understand all the options - perhaps you'll transfer your business to family members, or maybe you'll sell to a promising employee or an outside investor. Whatever route you choose, the Power and Associates team can help develop and implement a succession and estate planning strategy that works for you.
