HARTFORD, Conn. - December 1, 2020 - (Newswire.com)
Businesses are going into the COVID-19 death of their founder without a plan. This puts both the company and the employees’ livelihoods at risk. In his Sudden Death Checklist workbook, Jack Veale helps company owners, their spouses, their children, and their close advisors (financial, legal, religious, etc.) work systematically through the hundreds of decisions that must be made.
Here are a few of the topics covered in the workbook on the business side.
· What to do with the items in the deceased’s work office. (Sorting between what is owned by the company and what is personal and should be returned to the family.)
· Keeping key managers on board.
· Updating bylaws
· Dealing with partners, shareholders, directors, and ESOPs.
· Tackling the insurance paperwork
· Navigating between the company and the founder’s family
· Communicating with employees and the press
· Executing buy-sell agreements
· Establishing the next leadership team
· And much, much more
Having a comprehensive resource like the Sudden Death Checklist that can put all of the stakeholders on the same page in such a turbulent time can save money, time, and confusion for the founder’s family, the employees, and the stakeholders.
About the Sudden Death Checklist Workbook:
The workbook is intended to be used by business owners, trustees, and executors in conjunction with their key advisors (such as the family/corporate lawyers and wealth advisors) and their spouses/partners. It guides them in the process of working through gathering the information required in the case of the business owner’s sudden death.
The workbook includes comprehensive checklists and instructions for an array of topics.
By using the “Sudden Death Checklist” that the business owner has wisely left behind for them, the surviving family and his company have easy access to all the documents that will be needed to process the estate and transition the business.
