Cornered: George Schoenbeck on Closely Held Business Succession Planning

In Chapter 1 of POSTMORTEM ESTATE PLANNING 2026 Edition , George Schoenbeck poses some fundamental questions: "What is 'postmortem' estate planning? How does an attorney advising an executor or trustee know when such planning is needed? Further, what does the attorney need to know before engaging in it?" In this episode, Mr. Schoenbeck answers some additional questions around succession planning for families with closely held businesses as part of their estates.
