Radio Interview with Kokish & Goldmanis, PC

In this radio interview, Kokish & Goldmanis attorneys, Becky Goldmanis and Bernie Greenberg discuss the intersection of family law and estate planning. When a business owner or principal experiences or expects marital difficulties, not only is the business at risk, but so is the business owner’s estate planning. Becky and Bernie discuss how family law can result in “double dipping” against the business interest and income in the event of a divorce and how family law issues and estate planning issues blend together.

Any business owner needs to know what can happen to their business interest and how this knowledge can help them protect something they have worked their lifetime to build. Simply titling the business interest incorrectly can result in several unintended consequences.

For any business owner or principal, this information is required listening.
