Estate Planning

Estate planning is important for everyone, especially business owners and high-net-worth individuals concerned about turning over their wealth to the next generation. At ZMA Legal, we are trusted legal allies for business owners, physicians, team owners, athletes, executives, private equity professionals and real estate developers in Deerfield and throughout surrounding Illinois communities. We draw upon extensive business law and estate planning experience to guide our clients through the nuances of business succession planning and determine your goals and identify strategies which accomplish your wishes.

After building a business from the ground up, owners are rightfully concerned that the transfer of assets be as smooth and efficient as possible. Without careful legal planning, assets can be lost to unnecessary taxes. Unclear direction can leave new management without a clear plan of action. With firm plans in place, however, you can lay the foundation for future success.
