In the event of an untimely death or accident, you will be able to return to your completed “Shoebox to Strategy” binder and spreadsheet to find the information that is key for continuing the farm’s legacy. You will also run a variety of transfer scenarios to analyze and compare possible distribution plans for farm transition.
