Estate planning
Moving beyond basic wills to coordinated wealth preservation
Estate planning for affluent families, medical professionals, and business owners goes far beyond drafting a basic will. When wealth includes holding companies, professional corporations, real estate, and private investments, transferring that wealth calls for a coordinated strategy.
Navigating High-Net-Worth complexity
For families with significant wealth, a poorly structured estate can result in severe tax leakage and prolonged legal delays. We specialize in high-net-worth estate planning, developing sophisticated structures that bring absolute estate simplicity to complex situations.
Grant Strachan & Associates evaluates advanced estate planning strategies, integrating tools like estate freezes, inter-vivos trusts, and corporate-owned life insurance to manage final tax liabilities and ensure an orderly estate transfer.
Without a coordinated strategy, corporate estate transitions can trigger severe double-taxation and frozen corporate assets.
We design specialized frameworks to eliminate structural bottlenecks, ensuring your business equity transfers smoothly to your heirs without unnecessary administrative delays.
Safeguarding the business legacy
Corporate structures add an extra layer of exposure to the estate process. Our team focuses heavily on estate planning for business owners, ensuring that your corporate assets aren’t frozen or heavily taxed upon a shareholder's passing.
We help design clear corporate wills, dual-will strategies where appropriate, and buy-sell agreements that integrate seamlessly with your overall estate planning.
Whether you’re a small business owner optimizing estate planning or preparing a multi-generational transition, we ensure your business equity is preserved.
