Farm transition planning meeting Nov. 17 in Mt. Pleasant

ISU Extension and Outreach - Henry County is hosting a Farm Transition/Estate Planning Meeting on Thursday, Nov. 17 from 6 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. at the Henry County Extension Office in Mt. Pleasant (127 North Main Street). A light meal will be served.

Transitioning the farm to the next generation is usually not conceived at the dinner table on the back of a napkin. It is a lengthy process that, done properly, can take several years to complete. This meeting is an introduction to farm estate planning, an exercise to get things started.

Charles Brown, ISU Extension and Outreach Farm Management Specialist, and Kitt Tovar Jensen, ISU Center for Agricultural Law & Taxation Legal Consultant, will discuss the top estate planning mistakes and the information your attorney or team will need to start preparing your estate plan.

Charles states, “Too many people procrastinate, thinking there is always tomorrow. Sometimes tomorrow comes sooner than expected.” We want everyone to be informed and able to make educated decisions.

Registration for this class is $10/person and pre-registration is required. Please contact the Henry County Extension Office at (319) 385-8126 to register by November 14.
