Transferring the Family Farm

It is essential for every farmer to have a farm succession plan in place. There are complex legal and taxation rules that, if planned for, can be managed easily. If not planned for, however, there could be a major impact on the viability of the farm business.

This publication looks at seven specific issues that require discussion when a succession plan is being put in place.

• The Farm Business
• The Farm Family
• Legal Issues
• Taxes
• Collaborative Farming
• Availing of a Pension on Retirement
• Education

In the below clip, Klara McGrisken, Teagasc Financial Management Specialist, provides an overview of what takes place at the clinic. The event is run over a half day and opens with a short presentation on the area of farm transfer. People will get the opportunity to talk to professional advisors one-to-one about their own particular farm transfer situation.

The professional advisors at the clinic include:

• Teagasc advisory and education staff
• tax specialists
• legal experts and
• family mediation professionals

all offer practical advice on the topic of farm transfer.

All farm family members are welcome including parents, farming focused children and members of the wider family group. The overall aim of the event is to leave the event more knowledgeable and on the correct path towards their own successful farm succession plan.

Elsewhere in the clip, Seamus Bagnall and his son Jim explain why they decided to attend one of the clinics and outline what they hope to achieve by attending the clinic.
