Every small business is created by a person who will eventually look forward to retirement. The business is an asset and, like any other asset, can be passed to children or sold to them or a third person. The transfer of the small business can be orderly and intentional but takes planning.
You may know a family who did not plan, and after the death of the founder, the business had to be sold to pay taxes or was "run into the ground" by a family not prepared to take over the business.To whom will the business transfer? Will the transfer be by sale or gift? Will transfer occur at death or during life?

Whether you own a small business or have an idea for a small business, you will encounter many different issues involving questions of law over the life of the business. The formation of a business is a legal act. Businesses face issues of taxation and liability throughout their existence. The contract is the primary agreement by which most businesses conduct business.
Sometimes called a "Last Will and Testament", a will is a formal legal document expressing a person's wishes as to what should happen to his/her property after death. Every state has a statute that governs the formality of the Will.
Generally, there are legal requirements for signing the Will; the manner in which it is to be signed; whether witnesses are required, and if so, how and where the witnesses are to sign; people who are disqualified from being witnesses; amending the Will; and related issues (such as the effect of defacing a Will and revoking a Will).These rules differ from state to state.

I wish more than 5 stars was an option. In November 2020 my dad passed away from cancer. My brother and I are both retired military and do not live in Ohio. I live in Louisiana and he lives in North Carolina. When Dad finally let us know he was terminal things got VERY real VERY fast. We were told he was having heart/oxygen problems. Not good, but not terminal. Anyways, Dad did not communicate to us of what he had done legally other than his will. (I honestly don't think at that point he remembered. His oxygen levels were extremely low for a while by that point.) Anyways, my wife and I asked her
