Details of the Case Study
Natalie and James Walters are a married couple who delayed retirement during COVID but at 68 years old they are now ready to sell their family business and retire. They have accumulated substantial personal wealth and a business worth $8 million. They now have two grandchildren with another one on the way; the oldest one has special needs. They've come to you to ask, "how do we exit Walters Dispensaries LLC (formerly SWIRL & GO Frozen Yogurt Shops) so that we can enjoy an active retirement with lots of travel and charitable giving while at the same time providing a financial inheritance that meets our children's individual needs?"

This session will include small, multi-disciplinary breakout sessions during which attendees will use their knowlege and problem-solving skills to address key questions related to the fact patttern like:

  • Who is your client? Are engagement letters needed?
  • Who will serve as fiduciary? Should you consider a corporte trustee?
  • How to structure a business sale vs. a business succession plan?
  • Is long term care a consideration?
  • Concerns with trusts holding an interest in a dispensary?
  • Should you recommend a CRT, DAF, or Post-Mortem Charitible Bequest?

The case study will be provided to registered attendees within the confirmation message and prior to attending.

A special thank you to Tom Griffith, NAEPC board member, and the leadership of the Estate Planning Councl of Central New York for sharing this case study with us.
