5 questions to ask your family now about the future handover of your farm
When it comes to farming family succession planning, Carrick Aland is ready to ask the right questions:
- Where will your farm be in 10 years?
- Who will be running it?
- Do you have a clear path to transition it to the next generation?
- What if one of the key stakeholders passes away – what’s the plan?
- Can the plan be realistically achieved with everyone happy with the process?
Starting early helps a succession plan to be achieved – as much as five years beforehand can make a world of difference to the anticipated transition.
Where do you start?
When it comes to succession planning, the important thing to recognise is that each case is unique with different timeframes, personal objectives and structures to take account of.
Most people don’t deal with succession planning every day so it makes sense to speak to people who do and can help to create an appropriate plan for you.
