MONROE, Wash. – Who cares for a family farm or forest land when the legal owner dies? Will it be a family legacy or family squabble? Will it be kept intact and protected or divided and sold? Succession planning is the critical step of ensuring the long-term future of rural properties. A two-part succession planning workshop will be 5-9 p.m. Thursdays, March 21 and 28, at the Qualco Energy Center, 18117 203rd St. SE, Monroe.
The award-winning Ties to the Land curriculum will be used. Guest speakers will include an attorney, a financial planner and a family that has gone through the process. Cost is $40 per family and includes one set of materials and dinner for two people each night. Materials and dinners for additional family members can be purchased.
