The building blocks of a grand plan...
What you need to understand!
Whether you’re thinking about Transferring, leasing or selling part of your land to support retirement or family needs or considering partnerships to keep you involved while preparing for the future, we’re here to help. Together, we’ll explore the options that best fit your goals, balancing immediate income with long-term security and a smooth transition to honouring your legacy.
Gifting or Selling land may trigger taxes, from capital gains to stamp duty and inheritance tax, but smart timing and planning help reduce or defer these costs. In conjunction with your accountant, We help you understand and qualify for valuable reliefs like Retirement and Agricultural Relief, protecting what you’ve built.
Long-term care needs can impact farm assets under the Fair Deal scheme. We explain how the scheme works and help you plan ahead to avoid unexpected costs or forced sales, securing your farm and family’s wellbeing.
Every farm and family is different – so the plan needs to be too.
We cover all the moving parts: wills, income, business structure and more.
Let’s build a tailored plan that works now and for generations to come.
Collaborative approach
"We believe in a collaborative approach to succession planning. We'll work closely with you, your Agricultural Consultant, your accountant, and your legal advisor to develop a plan that meets your needs. You're in control every step of the way."
Leave assets, not liabilities!
How we work
Trusted succession advisors rooted in Irish farming life.
At Farm Legacy Solutions, we focus solely on farm succession planning in Ireland. Our mission is to protect the legacy you’ve built and ensure it passes smoothly to the next generation. With practical experience, empathy, and a clear plan, we walk every step with you.
We’re here to help farm families move forward with confidence and clarity.
We start with a relaxed, no-obligation chat to understand your goals, concerns, and current situation. You don’t need anything prepared; we’ll guide the conversation.
We gather the key information about who’s involved, what’s on the table, and what matters most to you and your family. If necessary, we’ll also talk to your agricultural consultant, accountant, or solicitor to keep things connected.
We walk through practical scenarios, such as who’s taking over, how the handover could work, and what supports are needed. We aim to find the best fit for your family and your farm.
Once you’re happy with a direction, we help you turn everything into a clear, workable plan. That plan might include timelines, legal steps, financial considerations, and family communication.
We don’t disappear once the plan is complete. We check in as needed, help adjust if your situation changes, and ensure the plan keeps working for you over time.
Our approach and values shape how we work with every farm family.
