Estate Planning Mistakes - Number Twenty-Seven


If you own a business that is set up at an S Corp, you want to make sure the S Corp status is not lost upon death. If stock in an S Corp passes at death into an ineligible trust the S Election may be lost. Only certain trusts, specifically "qualified sub-chapter S trusts" and "Electing Small Business Trusts" qualify as S Corp shareholders. In order to prevent the loss of the S Election, you want to make sure your estate planning document provides the appropriate language.
