Upcoming Presentations
David Gage will be co-instructor for this Continuing Professional Education program for CPAs. Succession is one of the most complex issues facing entrepreneurs. Business owners are frequently passing their companies to more than one person - partners, children, key employees - and for many, it goes painfully awry. Some owners wishing to pass on their companies never get the full value out of their companies because they fail to plan carefully. This seminar will focus on ownership and management transitions in family and non-family businesses.
Recent Presentations
David Gage spoke at this American Institute of
CPAs conference. He addressed the family dynamics that come to the
foreground when family land decisions are at hand, how parents – with
the best of intentions – create “accidental partners” among
children when transferring land to them, what families can do to lessen
the likelihood of future conflict and what adult siblings in “accidental
partnerships” in real estate can do to diminish their risk.
