{"product_id":"9781895112283","title":"How to Sell your Farm Successfully: or Transfer it to the Next Generation","description":"Farm life has always been an important part of my world. I grew up on a dairy farm on Nicomen Island near Mission, BC and have immediate family and relatives operating dairy, poultry and crop farms.\u003cp\u003eAs co-executor (with two brothers) of my father's estate, I know all too well the result of not having a proper farm transition plan in place. Our dad had a poorly executed, unworkable Will and a non-existent farm succession plan. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis led to family discord. Despite receiving the majority of the assets, the brother who inherited the farm suffered financial distress and became insolvent. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA proper transition plan would have helped him get the financial and farm management training he needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, 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. In my work with the Assante Ag Group, I provide wealth advisory services to farm and business families. This includes helping them grow and protect their assets while preserving their family wealth and legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn my 29 years in the business, this is what I've seen: that all businesspeople, especially farmers, need and want personalized financial advice that helps them achieve their life goals. It is very clear to me that 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)?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsuring the continuity of our farming community is a personal commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heartbeat Productions Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039823413488,"sku":"9781895112283","price":9.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781895112283_p0.jpg?v=1763610327","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781895112283","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
