Last Call for Evaluating Your Estate Plan

Ag/Outdoor

November 23rd, 2015 by Ric Hanson

Farmers are unique – particularly as there isn’t a distinct moment when they just walk out the workplace door to retirement as someone in a regular wage-earning job might do. Rather, farm families often need to think about how to transition the farm business to the next generation during lifetime, as well as having an estate plan in place.

That’s why Iowa State University Extension offers an “Evaluating Your Estate Plan” workshop to answer transition and estate planning questions and help families prepare for the future. The one-day workshop will be held on December 2nd at the Logan Community Center.

Anyone who is unsure of how to build a transition plan or what options are best for their farm operation and family should attend this workshop. The workshop will be held at the Logan Community Center on December 2, 2015 with registration starting at 9:00 am and adjournment at 4:00 pm. Advance registration is required and space is limited. The Evaluating Your Estate Plan workshop costs $50 per person and includes lunch and materials. To pre-register call the Harrison County Extension Office at (712) 644-2105.

The workshop has been made been made possible by these local sponsors: Farm Credit Services of America and Gross & Company. For more information visit: www.extension.iastate.edu/harrison/EYEP.
