Overview

Your biggest asset deserves its own plan.

When a closely held business is the centerpiece of an estate, generic planning falls short. The business needs to be valued, its transfer coordinated with buy-sell terms, and liquidity found to cover any transfer tax — all without disrupting operations or family relationships.

LexRoute connects you with counsel who plan at the intersection of the business and the personal estate, so the value you built transfers cleanly. This route pulls your business and estate documents into one coherent plan.

What it involves

Coordinating two plans into one.

Business-owner planning aligns transactional and estate tools that are too often handled separately.

01

Business & estate alignment

Making sure company documents and the estate plan agree.

02

Buy-sell integration

Coordinating buy-sell terms with the transfer strategy.

03

Valuation & discounts

Supportable valuations, including applicable transfer discounts.

04

Liquidity for taxes

Planning so heirs aren't forced to sell to pay the tax.

05

Trusts for owners

Trust structures suited to holding business interests.

06

Succession alignment

Tying the estate plan to the business succession plan.

Why it routes to a boutique
