What happens to your business when you’re no longer able to run it? Whether you’re a law firm owner or an entrepreneur, estate and succession planning should be a top priority—but too often, it’s overlooked until it’s too late.

In this episode of The Law Deals Podcast, I sit down with estate planning and elder law expert Peggy Hoyt to discuss the critical role of succession planning in securing both personal and business legacies. With decades of experience and a passion for educating clients, Peggy shares how she built her firm with long-term stability in mind, the biggest pitfalls business owners make, and why a handshake agreement isn’t a plan.

We also explore her work with Animal Care Trust USA and how she turned a passion for pet protection into a successful nonprofit.

If you’re a business owner thinking about the future—or even if you’re not thinking about it yet—this episode will give you the insights you need to start planning now. You can find more from Attorney Hoyt at https://hoytbryan.com/ or at (407) 977-8080.
