Why Every Entrepreneur Needs a Will — And Why Your Business Changes Everything
Next Session:
Friday, March 27th, 2026
Time: 12pm-1pm ET
(Additional 30 minutes for Q&A)
Many entrepreneurs create business plans, marketing strategies, and financial goals — but very few create a clear plan for what happens to their business if something unexpected happens to them.
If you are a business owner, your will must address more than personal assets. It must also consider your business, clients, employees, and operational responsibilities.
This educational workshop will help entrepreneurs understand the role wills play in protecting both their personal estate and their business.
In this workshop, we will discuss:
what happens to your business if you pass away without a will
how business assets are treated in an estate
the role of an executor when a business owner dies
why legal documents alone may not be enough
the importance of business contingency planning
You will also learn how to begin organizing your business information so your family, advisors, and executor are not left trying to figure out how your business operates during a difficult time.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is ideal for business owners who want to ensure their family and advisors are prepared if something unexpected happens.
No legal or financial background is required.
