land management & estate planning
minimize the worries of distant land ownership
We design a plan to help you analyze the best use of farm resources. By implementing the latest farming techniques, we can develop a marketing plan, hold expenses to a minimum as well as help you partner with or select a new tenant. We work with the Farm Service Agency to meet and utilize the latest government requirements. Accurate income and expense reports are provided with a year-end summary.
trust & estate planning
Believe it or not, you have an estate. In fact, nearly everyone does. Your estate consists of everything you own: your car, home, other real estate, checking and savings accounts, investments, life insurance, furniture, personal possessions. No matter how large or how modest, everyone has an estate and something in common—you cannot take it with you when you die.
A trust can continue long after your death. Assets can stay in your trust, managed by the trustee you selected, until your beneficiaries reach the age you want them to inherit or longer to provide for a loved one with special needs; to protect the assets from beneficiaries’ creditors, spouses, and irresponsible spending; or to provide for future generations.
