KNOWLEDGE
Client Work
- Worked with farm families on how to transfer the farm operation to their farming children while still providing a fair distribution to the non-farming children with a tax-efficient plan.

As part of this process, we structure the transfer to be most tax efficient for both income tax and estate tax perspective while considering the family's goals for control of the business, children's access to cash flow and cash flow for all parties.
