Love, Land & Legacy - Navigating Family Law for Farming Families

Introduction

Family farms are often at the centre of some of the most complex and emotionally sensitive cases in family law, involving a unique combination of inherited and multi-generational assets, closely intertwined family and business relationships, and strong expectations around succession and legacy.

This practical and insightful webinar will help you develop the knowledge and confidence needed to navigate the competing pressures that arise when advising farming clients. It will explore key issues such as the valuation of farming businesses and agricultural land, how and when to argue that assets should be treated as non-matrimonial, the role and effectiveness of nuptial agreements within farming families and the challenges of managing cases involving wider family stakeholders.

Designed for family law practitioners, the webinar will provide clear, practical guidance and expert insight into one of the profession’s most nuanced and challenging areas.
