Estate Planning

Estate Planning is the process of managing an individual's asset base in one’s lifetime, at death or after death. Estate planning includes the legacy of transferring land and other assets to heirs and the settlement of estate taxes, while attempting to eliminate uncertainties over administration of the assets and to maximize the value of the estate. The sooner farm and ranch families begin the process, the more satisfying the outcomes will be.
