Estate Planning for Farm / Ranch Owners

You’ve spent a lifetime working and building your farming or ranching operation. Maybe some or all of your family stayed with you and helped you along the way. Your operation accumulated assets and value and possible even some debt. As you age, what do you do with your farming or ranching operation. How to you pass on your farming or ranching operation to your family or loved ones in a way that you want.

Estate planning for family members involved in a farming or ranching operation could lead to some problems. Questions and concerned we’ve often heard from our farmer and rancher clients include:

• My non-farming heir doesn’t understand why the family farm is being left to his or her siblings who farm.
• How do we communicate our estate plan if we are concerned how some of our children will respond?
• How do I figure a fair share for my children or loved ones when deciding on an inheritance plan?
• How do taxes play into my planning?
• Can I continue doing what I love and still pass ownership and responsibility for the farm or ranch to the next generation?
