Succession, Finance, Legal Rights and Tax Planning:A Play!

It can be easy to avoid potentially difficult discussions on Family Succession, know the Legal Rights surrounding farming and family and understand the complexities of Finance and Tax Planning.

Watching others wrestle with the issues can be the first step in your own family journey.

Based on real experiences across the country, Monitor Farm Scotland, with Johnston Carmichael, Virgin Money and Shepherd & Wedderburn, update a 2000’s classic play, bringing the issues to the fore in a lighthearted but ultimately, potentially life-changing performance.

‘Succession, Finance, Legal Rights and Tax Planning: A Play’ takes the format of a round-the-table discussion with a banker, solicitor and accountant with a farming family in the middle. Come along to see how the discussions go, the key topics and how the advice from different professionals might impact on the farming family at the centre of the discussion.

With a farming family at the centre of the discussion, other parts round the kitchen table are taken by Petra Grunenberg, solicitor and rural team partner at Shepherd and Wedderburn and a rural law accredited specialist; Graham Leith, chartered accountant with Johnston Carmichael; and Rona Jordan, agricultural business manager with Virgin Money.

There will be a question and answer session after the play, with opportunities to meet the real-life actors, each experienced professionals on the subject of succession.
