About the program…
S corporations are the most prevalent form of entity for small businesses and inclusion of S stock in an estate of a decedent or their revocable trust or where there are certain types of heirs, can cause significant administrative and tax challenges. This discussion will address some of the quirks of the law and how to properly plan post death for the ownership of S corporation stock.
