Experience

Ranae tends to help early on in the process, sometimes being the "prodder" to get paperwork together, set up meetings with attorneys, and stay involved in the process as long as the participants want me to. Sometimes just having a second set of ears in meetings with lenders, attorneys, and CPA's is helpful for follow up questions.

Personal Statement

Farm transition planning is not something to take lightly. It's easy for me to remind families it needs to be done because I am familiar with the process and terms used. I cannot do the work for you, but I will serve as a recourse through the process and help set up connections if you need a CPA, attorney, etc.
