Sustaining New York’s Farms
We are excited to share that attorney Megan Harris-Pero will be speaking at ThINCubator in Utica, New York on October 3, 2018 during Albany Law School’s “Sustaining NY’s Farms: Legal Solutions for Farm Business Futures” event.
Program materials are available here: https://www.albanylaw.edu/centers/government-law-center/the-rural-law-initiative/resources/farm-businesses/Documents/Sustaining-NY-Farms-Program-Materials.pdf
The event will focus on protecting farms with information on bankruptcy and debt-relief instruments, conservation easements and other farmland preservation tools, buy-sell agreements and equity transfers, and retirement, long term care planning, and asset protection.
Megan will be presenting information about estate and long term care planning and asset protection for the family farm. If you are a farm or small food business owner, you should consider attending think event. The event is free for those not requesting continuing legal education credits. Attorneys and the general public are welcome to attend. Megan began her career in one the “big law” firms primarily focusing on business and real estate law. It was during her time there that she realized just how intertwined things like your house, your business, and your long term plans often are, especially if you are running a small business. It was for that reason that she began her practice with the intention of helping farmers and food entrepreneurs plan for secure life transitions into retirement and long term care.
