Payroll is probably one of the most important expenses for a technology consulting company.

Recently, I’ve been fine-tuning my estate plan.
I’m also toying with longer-term CD and bond maturities to improve yields.
This has me investigating what happens if I (now 65) die before my investment matures.

Other institutions aren’t entirely clear on this point, however.
