Proactive transitioning planning

Reference: FCC

In the final episode of this four-part, on-demand series Connecting Women in Agriculture, we think holistically when transition planning to focus on your family's health, business and legacy.

Annessa Good-Hassard knows first-hand the complexities and family dynamics around farm transition. Raised on her family’s mixed farm, she and her husband recently became the successors of their operation.

She shares a motto with clients: “Succession is the transfer of a business. Estate planning is the transfer of assets pre- and post-death. Transition combines both – it’s proactive rather than reactive.”
