Farm Succession: How to Plan the Transfer
Notas do episódio
Teagasc specialist, James McDonnell, explains the key steps around planning the farm transfer, who should be involved and how transferring farm family clinics are a good place to start.
Transferring the family farm is so much more than just a simple business transaction, there are a number of complex issues to be addressed including:
- The family home is normally inseparable from the business
- A number of family members/ siblings/ children to be catered for fairly
- If the transfer is during the owner’s lifetime, the owner will require an income, as well as possibly the recipient depending on the circumstances
- Creating an arrangement that can provide a solution for the different opinions of the family members involved the discussion
