Learning Objective

  • To discuss strategies on how to properly formulate and execute a successful ESOP plan 
  • To effectively help you or your client(s) transition their business in a tax-favored manner.  
  • To explain the advantages of an ESOP.
  • To analyze how to successfully integrate the ESOP into estate planning.

Course Overview

For business owners looking for a controlled succession plan that allows them to phase out of their company when they are ready, an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) might be the right choice. 

The key is to properly structure the ESOP to maximize tax efficiencies while at the same time incorporating the post-ESOP assets into the client’s estate plan.  Many business owners fail to include estate planning in their exit strategy which can lead to a failed generational transition of assets.

Enhancing the many benefits of an ESOP structure by incorporating estate planning should never be an afterthought by selling shareholders!

With insights from Mark Lobb's expertise, this CE Tax Webinar serves as a guide for business owners, emphasizing the significance of considering both ESOP and estate planning in their exit strategy.

Major topics covered in this course are:

  • Benefits of Effective Estate Planning
  • Estate Planning Concerns for ESOPS
  • Revocable living trust
  • Tax-free sales plus gift
  • Legacy gift trust, Charitable planning, and Asset protection
  • Life insurance and others

Don't miss this opportunity to navigate the complexities of tax-favored business transitions and safeguard your wealth for future generations.
