Closely Held Family Businesses.

by James John Jurinski and Gary A. Zwick

This book demonstrates how to counsel families through what is often the most traumatic event in the family cycle short of death: the transfer of a family business. Transferring Interests in the Closely Held Family Business discusses family dynamics such as who is in control, who wants control, and who is likely to end up with control.

Offering skillful tips on family diplomacy, the authors show how to avert power struggles and destructive infighting, while leading the family toward the desired result: the best economic outcome for all concerned.

Transferring Interests shows how to get family business owners started on retirement planning, liquidity planning, and estate planning, and how to recognize and deal with the overt and subtle conflicts of interest involved with transferring a family-held business.
