Considerations For Family Farmers
In speaking with clients who own farms and want to provide for the future, there are similar concerns that many farm owners have when creating plans.
- Farm owners are concerned about entrusting their business to another person, even a relative. They are worried that the company will not be run acceptably.
- Owners want to develop transition and inheritance plans that treat all of their children fairly and equitably, even those who are not directly involved with the operation of the family business.
Developing a comprehensive transition plan for the farm or other family business can avoid or minimize many of these and other potential issues. The process can often be complicated and time-consuming, as it involves merging personal goals and concerns with complex financial, and legal matters.
By working with an experienced attorney, however, to recognize potential problems and help you complete the process, you can feel confident about the future of your farm.
