Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia
Which is a better option as far as the tax implication:
I have key man insurance where the business received the proceeds after death to then pay the estate for my shares of the business stock. OR should I have life insurance where the proceed go directly to my wife? Who and where is the higher tax consequenses?

So, what would these shares likely be worth on the date of your demise and
how could anyone really know for sure?
Assuming the above to be essentially unanswerable, the life insurance option payable directly to your wife would seem like a "no brainer", so to speak (my opinion).
In regard to question #2 , I haven't a clue.
