Members of the Assante Ag Group work directly with the farm family to help them understand the complex tax and financial issues that need to be addressed in order to minimize loss of farm wealth when important transitions or transactions occur. The busy lives of farm families can seem further complicated by the necessary involvement of professionals from various disciplines, such as accountants and lawyers. The Ag Group provides a comprehensive plan that coordinates the services of these professionals. The Ag Group creates the plan, helps coordinate its implementation by the client family's accountant and lawyer, and continues to monitor the client family's tax and financial affairs thereafter and through the retirement years.
