It includes arranging shareholder or partnership structures, buy-sell provisions, trust-based succession, and associated tax planning within wills, trusts, and estate provisions. A solicitor in this area drafts and reviews deeds, shareholder agreements, and in-specie transfers, coordinates with accountants, and helps organise lasting powers of attorney and testamentary arrangements to secure a smooth handover. Practical steps often hinge on tax reliefs, business asset transfers, and anticipated future control of the enterprise.
