How Much Did Your Lawyer Cost Our Family Farm
Estate? - Ron Hanson, UNL
This session will focus
on the questions that must be addressed when developing a plan for farm business
ownership succession. If these issues are not discussed and resolved within the
family, it could end up costing the family a lot of legal costs and lawyer fees.
Wills and Trusts-The
Basics of the Planning Process - Roger McEowen, ISU
Roger will discuss the
basics of gathering data, summarizing assets and liabilities, and then looking
at the basic elements and process of writing a will or setting up a trust.
Planning for the Next
Ranching Generation - Panel Discussion
This session will be a
ranch producer panel moderated by Calvin Adams (Mitchell county, KS) and Cade
Rensink (Ottawa county, KS). Focus will be nonfamily and family member issues
regarding ranch ownership transfer.
FamilyTALK: Making it
Work - Charlotte Shoup Olson, KSU
Families who live and
farm together have challenges other families don’t face. While this provides an
opportunity to build closeness, it can also create stress and conflict. The
program will explore ways in which life can be made easier on the farm by
everyone using good communication skills.
Charitable Giving -
Gordon Dowell, KSU
You can have it all!
Explore the options to reduce tax liabilities, enjoy lifetime income, or
transfer wealth to heirs all while creating a legacy through any local
charitable organization.
What if the “What If”
Actually Happens to Your Family? - Ron Hanson, UNL
This session will share
the “what if situations” that most families avoid discussing (or pretend will
never happen). Developing a vision for the future of the business that is shared
by all family members involved is needed for a successful transition of farm
ownership when the “what if” happens.
Estate
Planning-Temporary Certainty - Roger McEowen, ISU
Roger will discuss the retroactive reinstatement of federal estate tax for 2010;
the election out of the estate tax for 2010; income tax basis; filing
requirements; portability; and basic planning concepts for Estate Planning.
Continuing Your Family Farm Legacy: Time
for Your Questions - Ron Hanson, UNL
The entire process for mapping out a succession plan can be an overwhelming
task. This session will address your questions & outline the necessary steps to
begin the process to work though stressful issues in a positive manner.
Summer Ranch and Range Internship - Cloud
County Community College
CCCC is partnering with the Kansas Ranch and Range Management Internship Program
to train the next generation of ranchers. The internship is a
hands on, one-on-one experience with ranch mentors to create sustainable ranches
for the 21st century. Learn more about this new and exciting program and how to
participate at CCCC during this session.
Can Junior Really Come Home to the Farm?
(Farm Record Analysis) - Kevin Herbel, KSU
Kevin will review some NC KS Farm Mgt trends and will look at the basics of
analyzing farm records. Participants will then be led through the steps to
determine just what changes and/or growth must occur in order bring another
family or non-family person into the operation. |
