Business Wills

Your Will needs to take your business into account. If you passed away, would your executors be able to administer this part of your estate. Your Will should ensure that the shares of your business go to the right person and in the best possible way. When two or more people are in a partnership, they should all ensure that the business and their Wills are set up in a way that supports their intentions. 

For landlords, your executors and trustees must understand your plans but also be able to manage the portfolio, your tenants and the financials of the business. This could mean appointing seperate business executors to manage that aspect. Your executor is liable for any loss on the estate, which is why it is vital to choose the right person. Moneybox Wills and Trusts can help you in that decision. 

As a business owner, Moneybox Wills and Trusts can also help you plan for Inheritance Tax by making use of available reliefs and capturing them with a Business property relief trust. Also, ensuring that the family recieve the full benefit of the business in the most effective way. Sometimes protection is the most efficient way.

Business LPA

Business Powers of Attorney ensure your duties and obligations as an owner continue to be met. Self employed people have suppliers, customers and staff that are all reliant on them and the business. If that business owner became ill or incapacitated it is not just them and their families who are affected. Accounts 

Having an Attorney specifically to manage your business affairs can help your business avoid failure, financial difficulty or legal claims. Your Attorney does not have to do the job you do. Simply manage the business from the perspective of an owner. If needed, your Attorneys can remove you from your business, sell or close your business, or continue the operations until you return. 

If you run any business, stop to think who would be affected if you suddenly became incapacitated. Your staff, your customers and your family would all be affected. Powers of Attorney are a simple and affordable way to protect yourself and your business from this. Moneybox Wills and Trusts can explain how a BLPA would be relevant to you and your circumstances.
