We all tend to put off making decisions that involve the death of family members. While these may be hard conversations, they need to happen so that farms and property can be smoothly transitioned to a new generation. We are holding a two evening meeting designed to teach you about steps to take and questions to ask. No products or services are being sold. OSU Extension is providing education. The meetings will take place in the Babcock Building at the Hartford Fairgrounds on March 13 and 18, 2025. The meetings will be from 6-9 p.m. and the fee is $25 per couple to cover the cost of materials and snacks. Additional family members can attend for $15 per person. Reservations deadline is March 7.
Workshop topics include: Developing Legacy Goals; Planning for the Transition of Management; Planning for the Unexpected; Communication and Conflict Management; Legal Tools and Strategies; Developing Your Team; Getting Your Affairs in Order; and Selecting an Attorney.
Our teaching team will help answer the following questions and much more!
- Who should we leave the farm to?
- How do we prepare the next generation to manage the farm in the future?
- How can we overcome family communication issues?
- How do we value sweat equity?
- What is the difference between a will and trust?
- Will I lose my farm to estate taxes or to the nursing home?
- What do we need to do to be better prepared to meet with an attorney and other professionals?
- What resources does OSU Extension have to assist us as we develop our plan?
