There are a number of factors that make within family transfers of farm businesses easier. Families that have a history of successful transfers have a family model that works for them. Family business skills like goal setting, open communication, planning for decision making, using outside advisors, wealth management, training successors, and retirement planning all help position the family and the business for successful transfer to the next generation. If you can't do this yourself, find some outside advisors who can help you. Use their advice to help you and your family to build a plan.
Goals then provide direction.
Build some off-farm investments to support you in retirement. These days, most within family transfers occur at prices well below fair market value. RRSP's or other investments help to ease the cash flow crisis at transfer. It is pointless to talk about transferring an unprofitable farm to the next generation. Parents need income to support them in their retirement years.
