According to Atlanta lawyer Scott Zucker, a business succession plan can help retain family harmony when it’s time for company leadership to transition. A business succession plan is an organized, thoughtful arrangement that choreographs a smooth transition in company leadership. They are especially important for family-owned enterprises so when the time comes for a change at the top, everyone involved or impacted by the transition knows what to expect. Hopefully, that will save emotions, arguments and other obstacles to family harmony.
