Hi, I'm Katherine Taylor, the lawyer for business owners.

Interestingly, over the past couple of months, I've been working with clients who are either going through a divorce or engaged in the estate planning process. Now, you might be wondering—why are they coming to me, a business attorney who doesn't practice family law or estate planning?

The answer is simple: they own businesses or interests in businesses. As you know, a business interest is an asset—often the most valuable asset a person owns. Because of this, clients (or even their attorneys) are reaching out to me and saying, “We've got business interests involved, and we need help determining how to handle them—either in the context of divorce or estate planning.”

Here's where I come in. I can do a couple of key things:

First, I provide both the client and their attorney with clear guidance on what would happen to the business interests if no specific planning is done—whether in the case of a divorce or death. It's critical to understand the default legal outcomes so you can make informed decisions.

Why is this important? Because no one wants their business interests to end up in probate—or worse, in the hands of a former spouse.

So, if you're in this situation—whether facing a divorce or proactively planning your estate—we can work with you or your attorney to ensure that your business interests are protected and handled appropriately. After all, your business is likely one of your most significant assets, and it deserves careful attention.
