My column in the July 2011 issue started a conversation on an exit strategy for your business. As promised, I'd like to continue that discussion in this column. Before going further, I just want to remind everyone that at its core, this column is an opinion piece. I'm speaking from my own experience and giving my thoughts on the subject at hand. I'm no authority on estate planning. But, what I try to do is bring forth points to ponder and get readers thinking about a concern common to many of us. Now, sometimes I think I know just enough about a subject to make me dangerous. So to prepare for this piece, I contacted my own attorneys, Jeff Morella and James Deasy of Morella & Associates in Pittsburgh. One of their areas of specialization is estate planning. In fact, Jeff was part of the presentation group at CENTS, which I mentioned last month.
