A
key to the success of a two-generation business arrangement is a common
understanding of where the business is going and what it will accomplish. If the
parties involved have different ideas about the future of the business, the
business arrangement may fail.
This process is designed to help you and your
family consider the many dimensions of a serious decision and make choices that
are right for you.
●
Understand tax repercussions and legal issues in selling and transferring assets
● Compare business entity options
● Estimate your financial needs in retirement
● Evaluate strategies for transferring the family farm
● Make explicit plans
● Determine your current financial situation
● Be aware of the potential for conflicts and identify ways to resolve
conflict
To
experience the full benefit of the program, participants should attend both
sessions as a family to learn and work through transition
together.
In
addition, farm analysts will be available outside of the scheduled meetings to
help you further implement what you learn.
