Farm Succession
Plan it before it's urgent.

Who takes on the farm, when, and on what terms is one of the hardest conversations a farm family has. The earlier you have it, the more options you keep.

Sound Familiar?

  • We keep putting off the conversation about the farm
  • One child farms, the others don't
  • We want to transfer in our lifetime but don't know how
  • We need to get our wills sorted

What I Help With

  • Mapping the holding: folios, entitlements, houses, leases and wayleaves
  • The options: transfer in your lifetime, a farm partnership, leasing, or your will
  • Land value guidance, so the whole family works from the same figures
  • Will planning: getting your wishes clear before you see your solicitor

What You Get

  • A written summary your family, solicitor and accountant can all work from
  • A list of questions for your solicitor and accountant on tax reliefs, stamp duty and Fair Deal
  • A plan you've thought through, rather than one made in a hurry

Land value guidance, not a formal valuation. I'll show you what comparable land and deals suggest, so you can judge an offer. When you need a formal valuation, for probate, a transfer, a CPO claim or a sale, I'll bring in a registered valuer. I'm working towards my own valuation qualification.

Who You May Be Working With

I don't replace these professionals. I get you ready for them, so their time is spent well.

  • Your solicitor
  • Your accountant
  • Teagasc or ACA farm adviser
  • Tailte Éireann (folios and maps)
  • Registered valuer
