@originaldohnthornton: Most family businesses don’t die because the kids can’t run them… They die because a judge decides who gets what — and tears it apart in probate. With a contract-law, spendthrift business trust, that never happens. Your kids don’t “inherit” your business — They become successor trustees and take control instantly. No judge. No probate. No tax event. No family war (info purposes only; not a licensed tax, legal, or accounting professional) #fyp #assetprotection #lawsuit #taxsavings
