Workshops on farm succession and estate planning coming in January

The third in a series of Farm Succession and Estate Planning workshops for farm families will be held across eastern Washington and Oregon in January 2008. These workshops follow on sessions held over 2007.

Topics will include tips for making the best use of appointments with an attorney, discussion on how to transfer non-titled property and important personal possessions, and what to do if there is a sudden death in the family.

There will also be discussion among workshop participants about what it takes to get started on farm succession planning and what has worked well for them in the process.

Each workshop is four and a half hours long, and refreshments or a meal will be served.

The dates, times and locations most convenient for local farmers are Tuesday, Jan. 15, in Spokane at 12:30 p.m. and Wednesday, Jan. 16, in Ritzville at 9:30 a.m.

For further information on other dates, meeting locations and to get updates, please contact Diana Roberts at Washington State University Extension Spokane County at 509-477-2147, or email at [email protected].

WSU Extension, Oregon State University Extension, and the Western Center fund the succession and planning project for Risk Management Education. If special accommodations for disability specials needs are required, please contact WSU/Spokane County Extension beforehand.
