Farm Succession Planning Services

Because your legacy deserves more than a legal pad and a handshake.

At Next Acre, we specialize in farm succession planning that goes deeper than paperwork.

    • Custom Transition Planning for land, equipment, business structures, and responsibilities

    • Ownership Strategy & Structure Guidance, including LLCs, partnerships, and tax-smart transitions

    • Mediation-Style Family Support to help facilitate hard conversations and preserve relationships

    • Coordinated Referrals to trusted legal, financial, and ag lending professionals

    • Clear Timelines & Communication Plans so everyone knows what’s next—and what’s expected

We guide families through the big questions:
Who’s taking over the farm?
How do we keep things fair?
What happens if we do nothing?

Through our Land Legacy Planning process, we help farm families hand down what matters—without losing who they are in the process. We start with honest conversations—often around the kitchen table, not in a boardroom—and walk alongside you to build a clear, values-driven plan that reflects your faith, your family, and your future.

No pressure. No jargon. Just a steady hand to help you hand it down right.

When you mix succession planning and farms, the concept of "fair vs equal" goes to another level, a level that many farmers have not even thought about or considered
