Estate & Succession Planning Workshop

Jeff Tranel, Agricultural and Business Economist with CSU, has talked to many groups and with many individual farm and ranch families across the country during his 35-year career. As he witnessed families struggling with transferring everything to the next generation, he and two colleagues authored a program titled “Leaving A Lasting Legacy.”

Tranel says legacy planning includes more than simply having an attorney draft an estate plan. “A person leaves more than just money and property,” he said. “In fact, a national study discovered that non-financial items are ten times more important than financial assets to transition onto the next generation.”
