Farm & Estate Succession Panning for Equine Property Owners and Others

This presentation walks participants through the key legal and practical components of building a successful estate and farm succession plan in Maryland. Using real-world examples and common family scenarios, it explains why planning matters, what happens without a plan, and how different legal tools, such as wills, trusts, business entities, easements, and powers of attorney, can be used to meet family and farm goals. The focus will be on keeping farmland in the family, balancing on-farm and off-farm heirs, tax considerations, and the importance of  improving family communication during the estate planning process. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of available tools, common pitfalls, and when to revisit and revise an estate plan."
