Q: What if I die without a will?
A: Dying without a will (referred to as dying intestate) means you’ll have no say over who receives your assets. State laws will dictate the division of your assets depending on your family situation.
This provides for an inflexible pattern of distribution which may not distribute your assets according to your wishes. Your assets may go to your children, parents or close relatives. If you have minor children, a judge will decide who cares for them, and the situation may not be ideal.
If you are a new business owner, one of your first steps should be determining which type of business formation you want for your business.
The formation you choose will ultimately serve as the blueprint for your business and will have a significant impact on all future dealings and transactions, so it is important to choose wisely.
