transfer of ownership. Family succession: Ideal for family
businesses, this strategy is designed to transfer the family business
from its initial owners to the next generation without incurring any
taxation or with minimal taxation. One of the popular tools used is
trusts where a trust is formulated by the initial owner and uses some
assets of the estate to fund the trust thus reducing its taxation cost
while still providing income to the initial owner. Buy- Sell

for family business owners to take advantage of the annual stock
value gift exclusion. As it is tax free initial owners can hand it over
to their next beneficiaries each year until the gift amounts to the
limit of annual exclusion. However, it is recommended as suggested
