PLANNING >> FOREST LEGACY PLANNING
What happens to a woodland after its current owner is gone often depends on decisions made years in advance. Without a plan, heirs may face tax pressure, disagreement or a forced sale that splits up the property. Legacy planning brings family members, foresters, attorneys and financial advisors together to decide how the land will pass to the next owner and how it will be cared for.
Whether you own an acre or several thousand acres of forest land, you need a legacy plan to carry your stewardship forward.
