Presentations by experts in the area of land transfer, legacy planning and addressing the problem of clear title and tenure issues that interfere with our mutual goal of family-owner sustainable forestry and agriculture.
Family-owned land is often the most significant source of intergenerational wealth. It also often has complicated legal challenges, such as heirs’ property, due to the nature of multi-person and intergenerational ownership. Natural resource professionals can offer valuable information and connections to landowners. This webinar will give participants a basic understanding of this valued and complicated land ownership model. Participants will also be equipped with tools for educating and connecting landowners they already serve for agricultural and forestry needs.
This webinar is intended for anyone invested in land ownership resiliency or, at a minimum, tasked with informing and representing landowners in their service territories. Participants will know how to explain the basic concept of heirs property; ways to link to forest and farm management; develop basic materials to provide land owners; and create asset maps that identify a local network of resources for land management.
