“Everyone should determine what and to whom they want to pass on the legacies of their lives and then communicate those wishes with family members,” said Jeff Tranel, an agricultural and business management economist at Colorado State University and author of “Leaving a Lasting Legacy.” “The difficult part of succession and estate planning is talking with family members. It is much easier to visit with a qualified accountant and attorney to apply the available tools.”

Topics to be covered at the workshop include:

• Where are you? Assessing one’s current circumstances.
• Where do you want to go? Setting goals and wishes for the future of the family and the business.
• How can you best get there? Strategies for getting from where you are to where you want to go. Selected issues and topics important to the process. Selecting and mentoring successors.
• Family communications. Methods for talking with family members.
• Resources that are available to help you with estate planning
