Not to put too fine of a swag on it, but think about your own business: 
will it survive your death?  Mine sure won't, and mine isn't even a 
sole-proprietorship; for various reasons, we're a C corporation, the 
business type most likely to 'be a standalone entity' ... many of my 
friends have started small businesses in the last 20 years, almost none 
of them will survive their death.
