This document discusses considerations and best practices for transitioning a farm to the next generation. It notes that farm succession involves estate planning, business planning, and is as much psychological and personal as it is legal. The transition takes a team approach and should go slowly, with the current farmers gradually handing over more duties and control over time. Communication and ensuring all parties' goals are aligned is important. Financial and tax implications also need reviewing to ensure the farm can support those involved and provide for retirement. Planning ahead and having alternatives is advised in case things do not go as intended. Resources for farm succession planning are provided.
