A dairy farm on Nicomen Island, in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia was where I grew up. Having gone through a poorly executed farm transition experience with my father's estate 18 years ago, I know all too well the result of not having a proper farm transition plan in place. In my family it led to family discord due to unequal treatment among family members and the bankruptcy of my brother who inherited the farm. Today, I work as a Senior Wealth Advisor with Assante Capital Management Ltd., a leading Canadian wealth management firm with extensive experience in family farm transitions. As a member of the Assante Ag Group, I provide wealth advisory services to farm families. This includes helping them grow and protect their farm assets while preserving their family wealth and legacy. Whether you have a transition plan in place or not, one day you will transfer your farm to your children, extended family or sell to a third party. The question is, will it be on your terms (voluntarily), or someone else's (involuntarily)?
