7.C.11) Increase estate planning assistance to farmers and owners of natural resource lands

One key to preserving family farms and natural resource lands in Metro Boston is to help farmers and other landowners successfully transfer their land and operations to the next generation.  Estate planning assistance can raise awareness of sale or transfer options that can provide inheritance benefits comparable to simple fee transfer to a developer.  The Cooperative Extension at the University of New Hampshire currently operates a successful series of workshops on this topic; which could be replicated in Metro Boston. 

11.a    A state agency or university should convene a working group to coordinate and expand estate planning programs in Massachusetts
