Planning for the future of your business and assets is often overlooked in our daily lives, particularly for those of us who feel young and healthy. However, it is a crucial aspect of any business, regardless of whether your intention is for the business to continue after you or if you plan to retire and close it. As business owners, we cannot always predict what lies ahead, which is why it is essential to have clear directions for ownership and succession planning in place if the need arises.

Today, I am joined by Clara Delgado Rossell, founder, and principal of Providence Legal, P.A. With her extensive experience in estate planning, asset protection, trust, and probate administration, she assists clients from diverse backgrounds. During our discussion, Clara will emphasize the significance of estate planning for business owners and share some cautionary tales where inadequate planning led to unfortunate outcomes.
