Your Land, Your Legacy
April 10th - June 5th, 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
Biweekly Zoom meetings
Online Family Succession Classes
Many family forest owners envision their land remaining in the family for generations. But does your family share your dreams for the future of your land? Do you have a plan in place to keep the land intact? Passing property from one generation to the next is legally and emotionally challenging. This program is designed to give landowners and families the tools to make the transition a successful one.
We encourage attendees to bring family members to start the planning process together. Succession planning takes time and money, but this process is essential if you want to influence your legacy through your land. Through research, we have determined the steps and processes that have the most likely positive outcome for your land and your family. This course is designed to walk you through those steps, and give you time to start working on each of them between the modules.
Successful legacy planning will increase the odds of most or all of the following outcomes: (source—GenerationNext)
