Whether you are a crofter looking to retire, need to write a crofting will, or you are part of the next generation, this event is for you.

Know your options & plan for the future

Whether you are a crofter looking to retire, need to write a crofting will, or you are part of the next generation coming into the family business, there is a lot to think about.

Crofting regulations can be tricky, and the legal and financial implications of the decisions you make also need to be considered. It is never too early to start thinking about succession planning. This meeting will provide an overview of what you need to know in order to evaluate your options and start the ball rolling.

We will hear from a panel of leading crofting, legal, and financial experts – an expert from Harper MacLeod will answer your questions on wills and power of attorney and we will hear from an accountant at Mackenzie Kerr to learn more about the financial dos and don'ts.

Booking is essential.
