Business Succession Planning

Business Succession Planning - Carson Law Firm

What happens to the business when the boss can no longer manage day-to-day affairs? Do the employees have any right to step into the boss’s shoes? We all like to think that we will eventually pick a day to retire, some years away, and give ourselves plenty of time to consider all the angles and plan the retirement party. But what happens if this time comes before we’re ready?

Few are aware that your interest in an LLC is a probate asset–and if you don’t plan for succession, the executor of your estate will have to take over and run the business. Planning for this day means saving our heirs from a big tax bill, or worst-case, total liquidation of the company. Whether it’s passing the business down to a family member, or simply protecting your business partner from unwanted incursion from an unhappy and unwilling manager, Carson Law Firm can help you achieve your goals through sound drafting and robust contracts.

Elizabeth K. Lybarger, Attorney

My name is Elizabeth K. Lybarger, and I am the associate attorney at Carson Law Firm. I first joined Carson Law Firm as a legal assistant in 2019 while pursuing my law degree through the part time evening program at Cleveland State University College of Law. I graduated from law school in December 2022 and became licensed in 2023.

My primary areas of practice are probate estate administration and estate planning, but I also assist clients with business formations, FinCEN Beneficial Ownership filing requirements, real estate transactions, and foreclosures.

I’m dedicated to helping my clients navigate the difficult times that come after the passing of a loved one and ensuring that the estate administration process goes as smoothly and cost effectively as possible.

During law school, I was a member of the Women’s Law Student Association and participated in the Transactional Law and the Community Advocacy Clinics. My work in these clinics provided real life experience dealing with local nuisance abatement regulations and community advocacy groups.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband, Adam, and our dog Pippin. I also enjoy baking bread, listening to audiobooks and podcasts, and riding horses with friends.

Education:
Lake Erie College, B.A. Political Science
