Initial Agreements
The Initial Agreement is the Agreement that establishes the legal, taxation and commercial framework of the Business Succession Plan. It is different from a Variation Agreement, which documents any changes to the content of the Succession Plan.
Meetings and Advice The standard Fee for a Complete Succession Agreement (or Business Insurance Trust Agreement) allows for up to two (2) hours’ consultation with the Adviser or Client with respect to the Client’s needs and the completion of the Questionnaire.The consultation and advice may occur by physical meeting or teleconference. This is sufficient to deal with the requirements of most Businesses. If additional time is required, Clover Law will quote an alternative Fixed Fee. Self-Ownership Business Succession Agreement The standard Meeting and Advice Fee is additional to the cost of a Simple Succession (or Self-Ownership Business Succession) Agreement.
Alternative Business Succession AgreementsClover Law offers a number of alternative Business Succession Agreements on a Fixed Fee basis: Clover Law can use any one of the Agreements to document a Simple Succession Plan. However, it uses either a Complete Succession Agreement (Single Policy-Owner) or a Complete Succession Agreement (Multiple Policy-Owner or Hybrid Agreement) to document a Complete Succession Plan.
Identity of Policy Owner and Trustee Simple Succession (or Self-Ownership Business Succession) Agreement If a Self-Ownership Business Succession Agreement is used, the Policy Owner will be the Life Insured personally. A Trustee is not required for the Self-Ownership Business Succession Agreement. Complete Succession (or Business Insurance Trust) Agreement If a Complete Succession (or Business Insurance Trust) Agreement is used, the Policy Owner will hold the Policies as a Trustee. The Policy Owner and Trustee is usually the Clients' Business itself or one of the entities within the Business Structure (preferably a Company). Clover Law does not use an Institutional Trustee Company. Click here to read about your choice of Trustee. A Trustee is not required for the Simple Succession (or Self-Ownership Business Succession) Agreement.
