Generational Transition Program

The Nebraska Rural Response Hotline will be hosting clinics in January.  These are free legal and financial clinics for farmers and ranchers (including estate and transition planning).

Dates and locations are:

January 15th at North Platte

January 22nd at Norfolk

January 23rd at Valentine

Call the Rural Response Hotline to sign up for a private, confidential session at 1.800.464.0258.

Time is a scarce commodity- especially for farmers and ranchers.  Are you too busy to finish your estate and transition plan?  What happens if your family’s farming or ranching operation is unable to transfer to the next generation? 

Now is the time to start your transition!  A meeting will be held to help families navigate the common landmines including legal, financial, and communication issues on Thursday, January 30^th in Bassett, Nebraska.

A producer panel will share their personal stories and Pam Olsen, ag attorney experienced in transition and estate planning, will discuss legal topics. 

Free legal and financial clinics are being offered for farmers and ranchers. The clinics are one-on-one meetings with an Ag Law Attorney and an Ag Financial counselor. These are not group sessions, and the clinics are confidential.

Here is an opportunity to obtain an independent, outside perspective on issues that may be affecting your farm or ranch.  Bring your questions!         

To sign up for a clinic or for more information, call the Rural Response Hotline at 1-800-464-0258.

     Norfolk - Friday, December 6, 2019

Free Legal & Financial Clinics in November

Free legal and financial clinics are being offered for farmers and ranchers. The clinics are one-on-one meetings with an Ag Law Attorney and an Ag Financial counselor.

These are not group sessions, and they are confidential.  The attorney and financial advisor specialize in legal and financial issues related to farming and ranching, including financial and business planning, transition planning, farm loan programs, debtor/creditor law, debt structure and cash flow, agricultural disaster programs, and other relevant matters.

Are Your Legal Documents as Dated as a 1970’s Polyester Jumpsuit?

As kids, we used to look at our parents’ high school pictures and poke fun at the funny hair and heavy polyester bell bottoms, in the lovely harvest-gold color.  “How outdated!” we giggled smugly (looking cool in our 1990’s fabric hair scrunchies and tapered legged, stone washed jeans).

Just as clothing and hair styles trend out, is it time your legal documents looked in the mirror?  Is it time for a modern-day makeover?

When is it time to alter an estate plan that has already been created?
