Farm & Ranch Planning

Risk has always been part of agriculture and the stakes for successful risk management have never been higher.

The Ag community faces increasing risk due to financial challenges, the changing role of government and agriculture programs, changes in production technology, global competition, complex environmental regulations, an uncertain tax environment, liability exposure, and the list goes on and on. 

At the Fraleigh Law Firm, PLLC we work with you to develop a strategic approach to risk management.   As part of a family that has been farming for four generations, we have a unique understanding of the issues the Ag community faces.  We work with you to develop a plan that meets both your business and family goals. 

• Utilize the appropriate legal business structure to reduce exposure to financial liability

• Develop a succession plan that protects the founder generation as well as the successor generation

• Ensure your estate plan utilizes legal mechanisms to minimize estate taxes, convey your assets to whom you choose, when you choose, and in the manner you choose.

• Analyze the risks and benefits of contractual arrangements such as buy-sell agreements, wind contracts, and statutory contract agreements associated with government programs.
