When a deceased person held interests in a business, administering their estate can become considerably more complex. Partnership arrangements, shareholdings and disputes involving other business owners can create additional legal and practical issues for executors, beneficiaries and their advisers.
In this webinar, Myerson’s Commercial Litigation specialists discuss the key issues that can arise when partnership and company interests form part of an estate, including how disputes can affect estate administration and the options available for managing and resolving them.
Designed for probate lawyers, private client solicitors, contentious probate practitioners and professional advisers dealing with estates involving business interests, the session provides practical guidance on identifying risks and navigating disputes.
What does the webinar cover?
Our specialists discuss:
- Partnership disputes – common issues that can arise following the death of a partner and the importance of understanding the terms of existing partnership arrangements.
- Company and shareholder disputes – issues involving shares, shareholder arrangements, company articles and the treatment of a deceased shareholder’s interest.
- Impact on estate administration – how unresolved business disputes can affect executors, beneficiaries and the administration of an estate.
- Business interests and valuations – potential disputes concerning the ownership, value or treatment of partnership interests, shares and other business assets.
- Managing and resolving disputes – practical approaches to identifying issues early, managing risk and seeking an appropriate resolution.
