Estate Plan Fundamentals for Farmers

 

Learn practical farm succession planning techniques to ensure your client's farm goes to the right recipients with little disruption to operation.

Estate planning for farmers offers special challenges and opportunities for the planner. In addition to having a working knowledge of wills, trusts, powers of attorney and other common estate planning documents, the planner needs to understand that the farm is a business. How the business is held, as a proprietorship or in one or more legal entities such as an LLC or corporation, and understanding, and often assisting in the formation of the succession plan for the business are critical aspects of the overall estate plan. The planner must possess a working knowledge of the income and transfer tax rules that may apply during lifetime and upon death of the farmer.
