How Business Interests Create Estate Planning Blind Spots

A beautiful estate planning binder doesn’t mean your plan is complete, especially when business interests or stock grants are involved. In this Tuesday Triage episode, Jill Mastroianni unpacks a listener question about distributing a family business in a blended family and uses it to expose one of the most common estate-planning blind spots: assumptions about ownership. Through real-world examples and practical guidance, Jill walks listeners through how to identify who actually owns a business interest, what that ownership really means, and why these details matter long before a crisis forces the issue. What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why business interests and stock grants are often the weakest link in an otherwise solid estate plan How a “perfect” estate planning binder can still be full of gaps Why contributing money to a business does not automatically mean you own the business interest How to use tax documents like Schedule K-1s and Form 1099-DIVs to identify ownership The difference between pass-through entities and C corporations, and why that matters How buy-sell agreements work in family businesses and how life insurance funds them A practical starting point for gathering reliable business information using the Secretary of State’s records Resources & Links The Death Readiness Playbook. A practical system to help you translate documents into real-world readiness and fill in the gaps that estate plans often miss. https://www.deathreadiness.com/playbook (https://www.deathreadiness.com/playbo...)
