Planning for end-of-life costs and expenses

A common misconception in farm estate and succession planning is that an estate plan is only used after an individual passes away, when in fact, a comprehensive estate plan considers long-term care needs, health care directives, and more. The October Ag Decision Maker article and replay of our recent Women Managing Farmland webinar provides further insight on End-of-Life Taxes and Expenses, both provided by by Kitt Tovar Jensen, staff attorney for the Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation and Beginning Farmer Center coordinator.
