Nebraska Extension, in partnership with Mid Plains Community College, will host estate and transition planning workshops for farmers and ranchers in Imperial and McCook in February.
Shannon Sand, an educator with Nebraska Extension, will offer tools and strategies to effectively plan, start, and complete estate plans. She will offer background on common mistakes during the process and highlight essential considerations for creating and carrying out estate and succession plans.
Following Sand’s presentation, an attorney or panel of estate planning professionals will be available for questions.
“The common mistake is that most know that they need an estate plan, but never get around to putting a plan into a legal document,” Sand said. “Over several years, at the end of the workshop, the most common comment is that the participants wished that they had started learning the steps to start and complete a plan sooner.”
Registration is required by Feb. 2.
