Q: My partner passed away suddenly without a will. His estate is now in the hands of the son who needs my help and guide
My partner and I had a business together. The business is under his name. I am unsure how the son needs to sort that out as well as his other business and even personal things needing to be done with possibly taxes, debts or assets.
A:
Determining how a business is to be handled is a complex question. You need to review the operating agreement or bylaws depending on how the business is organized. I highly recommend sitting down with a probate attorney to review the situation in detail and advise you.
Best of luck.
