Our Services
Debt Restructuring
We negotiate with your creditors on your behalf, which can be an effective tool for businesses and individuals seeking to avoid foreclosure or litigation.
Estate Planning & Tax Planning
We create Estate Plans to ensure that your farm passes to your family in that way that you desire. The goal is to reduce tax exposure and possible creditor attachment of your assets.
Bankruptcy
Farmers have a specific provision of the Bankruptcy code that applies only to their business – Chapter 12 bankruptcy. This can be a tool to restructure your debts when the creditors will not fairly negotiate & threaten legal action.
Tax Resolution
A tax debt can cripple any business. Farmers generally own real property that creditors and the taxing authorities can place liens upon. We work to resolve tax debts and obtain lien releases.
Land Sales – Transactions
Buy sell agreements for land and property. Contract negotiations.
