When an estate includes a business, dividing the assets can become considerably more complicated.
A business may contain tangible assets, goodwill, liabilities, intellectual property and ownership interests that all need to be understood.
Tasmania Business Valuations provides independent valuation services for estate and inheritance-related matters. Its case studies highlight situations where business interests need to be valued before beneficiaries can agree on ownership or buy-out arrangements.
A formal valuation can give executors, beneficiaries and advisers an objective figure to work from.
The key is establishing exactly what needs to be valued.
Is it the operating business? A particular shareholding? The company that owns it?
Those distinctions matter.
If you are administering an estate containing a business interest, speak with the estate’s solicitor or accountant before commissioning the valuation.
