Proactive transition planning: Empowering family, business, and legacy

Annessa Good-Hassard knows firsthand the complexities and family dynamics around farm transition. Raised on her family’s mixed farm, she and her husband recently became the successors of their operation.

She shares a motto with clients: “Succession is the transfer of a business. Estate planning is the transfer of assets pre- and post-death. Transition combines both – it’s proactive rather than reactive.”

In this session, she’ll combine her professional and personal expertise to help you think holistically about transition planning to focus on your family's health, business and legacy.
