Estate and Succession Planning for Principals of Agribusiness Entities

Our Team includes attorneys who specialize in estate and trust administration matters, including the development of estate plans that help our clients achieve maximum savings in income, estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes.

We handle the traditional aspects of personal estate planning, such as the preparation of revocable trusts, wills, and irrevocable trusts. We also analyze and implement the latest techniques to reduce estate and gift taxes and preserve our clients’ wealth. In addition, we assist our clients with the preparation of estate and gift tax returns, audits of those returns and appeals to the IRS and courts to contest proposed tax deficiencies.

Dean Mead’s clients can rely on our ability to represent them as generationally-owned agricultural businesses. We can help with the estate tax implications of business organization and structure, as well as with federal income, estate and gift tax planning, and business succession planning. Our Agribusiness Team works closely with clients to plan for the succession of family businesses and the transfer of wealth among generations in the most tax-efficient manner possible. We have significant experience assisting landowners in multi-generational business succession planning while preserving land holdings.
