Affordable Estate Planning
for Young Farm Families
There are many reasons younger adults postpone planning their own estate, or in many cases, choose one of the ever growing number of do-it-yourself estate planning sites online. We understand the appeal of these websites, but are concerned that users are not heeding the disclaimers that exist sometimes in very small print. One site, for example, offers a $50,000 "Peace of Mind" guarantee. $50,000 is a very small amount if you think about the risks of leaving your family unprotected. Remember if your estate plan doesn’t work you will never know!
We understand the business and risk of farming and have 40 years of experience in advising young farm families because of our commitment to outstanding client service. We are happy to meet with clients in the evening and on weekends at our offices or in their homes. By collecting information ahead of time, we are able to hit the ground running at our initial planning conference.
