Practical succession planning for farming families, covering business structures, Wills, trusts, land and protecting the future of the farm.
Succession in farming is about much more than passing on land. It involves protecting the future of the family, the farming business and the assets that have often been built up over generations.
Join Myerson Solicitors, Afford Bond and Fazakerley Sharpe for an in-person seminar bringing together legal, financial and land management perspectives on succession and long-term planning for farming families.
Our speakers will explore how farming businesses can prepare for change, from choosing the right business structure and considering diversification to planning for the transfer of management and ownership, protecting against unexpected events and putting appropriate Wills and estate planning arrangements in place.
