An Introduction to Administration of Executries for Farming Estates in Scotland

Introduction

This new virtual classroom seminar will focus on the key legal issues to be considered as part of the administration of an estate which includes farming assets.

The ownership structure of farming assets held by individuals and farming partnerships or limited companies, alongside interests in agricultural tenancies are often complex and require regularly some investigation and particular consideration on death.

The session, aimed at private client lawyers, will provide you with an overview and understanding of the particular queries and issues which arise from winding up a farming estate, the particular assets involved, valuation of assets and how to draft the relevant inventory of the estate for confirmation purposes.
