Build Your Legacy with Business Planning
Legacy Business Planning looks beyond the obvious—protecting assets, reducing risks, maximizing tax benefits, and securing long-term success.
It’s easy to start a business. However, ensuring that all of the options are considered and the “right” choices are made is quite a different matter. What is the goal for the business? What is the exit plan? Will it be kept for future generations, built up and sold, or wound down when we’re ready to retire? If the business is to be sold at some point in time, would it be nice to have a huge tax break on the sale (up to $10 million per owner)? What about retirement, would a fund that could be accessed tax free during retirement be desirable? Who will take over the business and manage it? How do we ensure or, at least, minimize the risk of lawsuits? How do we know if we are being tax efficient? How do we know if we’re truly profitable? How can we ensure that if something bad happens, we are personally protected? How do we ensure we won’t be asked to pay debts of the business? How do we ensure that the business won’t be taken from us? Legacy Business Planning is designed to look beyond the obvious and identify the solutions that will allow you to meet your goals and maximize your benefits.

Understanding Living Wills and Medical Power of Attorney
Do you need both?
Talking about future medical care can be tough. However, it’s crucial to ensure your wishes are followed if you can’t speak for yourself.
At Coastal Legacy Law, we guide you through creating a living will and selecting a trusted person to make medical decisions for you if needed.
A living will lets you outline your medical preferences in advance, including treatments you want or don’t want.
In addition to your living will, you can appoint a medical power of attorney to make health decisions on your behalf. It’s essential to choose someone willing and informed about your health preferences.
Since these documents serve different purposes, having both is advisable. Informing your doctor and family about them is important. Keeping a note in your purse or wallet about their location can be helpful in emergencies.
We are dedicated to helping you establish these documents, providing peace of mind that your healthcare wishes will be honored.
