A Simple Alternative to Trusts: CASCADING SHARES SUCCESSION PLANNING

Planning for the future is MOST IMPORTANT NOW, but many families worry that estate planning is expensive or complicated.  Trusts can be useful, but it is always important to other alternatives.

An affordable and straightforward option in Belize is to set up your company with cascading share classes, which allow you to decide exactly how control of your business or assets should pass to your loved ones or business partners—without the delays of probate. 

How It Works • You (the founder) keep full control during your lifetime • When you pass away, shares automatically transfer to your family or partner • 

The process is automatic, meaning no court probate is required • Your family/business partner can immediately continue managing the company or assets

Why It Helps Families • No Probate Delays – Fast transfer of ownership without court processes • 

Lower Costs – No ongoing trustee fees • 

Keeps You in Control – You decide how ownership passes after your lifetime • 

Peace of Mind – Your loved ones are looked after and your wishes are respected.
