Transition planning seminars for farmers and ranchers
You may not know today who you want to take over your farm or ranch operation. But, without the proper planning, outside influences such as the laws in your state and other factors may not allow you to have the control you would like.
Fortunately, the transition planning specialists at Nationwide® are here to help you get this process started with a no-obligation Land As Your Legacy® seminar.
It’s your land. You should choose who inherits it.
It’s easier than you think to get the right transition plan in place, and we can help. So, register for a seminar in your area today!
