Abstract
Estate planning and transition planning are terms that are often used interchangeably. However, it is important for businesses, including farms, to designate the differences between the two. Estate planning uses legal tools to ensure the next generation inherits assets when the owners retire or pass away. However, many farmers and business owners seek to involve their heirs in the day-to-day operations long before ownership is transferred. This is where transition planning comes into play, offering a more comprehensive approach. Transition planning encompasses four critical components, blending estate planning with business planning to not only prepare for the transfer of ownership but also facilitate the smooth handover of management responsibilities.
