Handing over the reins – Succession planning and what you need to know

“You’re starting to think about succession.  Who to talk to before you make a plan”. 

Join Jude Wilson and Brian Carter from Hamertons Lawyers Ltd as they discuss: 

  • Selling/transferring shares in your farming company to one or more children 
  • A sale of the farm to one or more children (or an entity under their control) with a loan back for all or part of the purchase price 
  • Leasing to one or more children with a right of first refusal to purchase  
  • Distribution from a trust if the farm is held in a trust 
  • Disposition by will 
  • Subdividing to provide a part of the farm for each child (if that’s possible) 
  • Selling the farm on the open market 

All of these options will come with an overlay of: 

  • The potential advantages and disadvantages/pitfalls of each option 
  • How will you provide for your other children if only one or some will take a share of the farm? 
  • What supplementary documentation might be needed 
  • The cost of implementing the succession plan – legal and accounting fees, tax… 
  • What if you want to keep living on the farm but not own/farm?
