Join us for a free webinar that explores why even successful businesses so often unravel during ownership transitions—and what leaders can do to prevent it. When unexpected death or incapacity strikes, the absence of clear succession, liquidity, and estate planning can quickly turn thriving companies into financial and personal crises. Designed to cut through common misconceptions, this discussion will help business owners, partners and executives understand where transition plans fail, how risk quietly accumulates, and what proactive steps can protect their company’s value, their family’s future, and their long-term legacy.
