What are the rules for inheriting a corporation?

Bernard H. Greenberg
Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
If a beneficiary inherits stock in a corporation, that is what they have inherited, the stock. Whether that stock allows them sufficient votes to control the corporation is a different question. The assets of the corporation may not be used to satisfy the bills of the estate. However, whether the corporation must liquidated is also a different question. You should visit with an attorney specializing in estate matters for further information.

It depends completely on what the will specifies. If the will does not specify what happens when a named beneficiary is already deceased, then the Intestacy statute applies. In your situation, you need to to speak with a Wisconsin attorney about what priority the past child support obligations may have. This will be governed by Wisconsin statutes.

Speak with an accountant. It depends upon whether you are married and how much equity you have. There are tax exemptions up to $250,000 that could save you from paying capital gains when you sell a primary residence.
