cs2 The XYZ Ranch had been in the family for three generations. At 73, Gary knew estate planning was overdue. He and his wife Cheryl wanted to reward son Gary Jr for staying on the ranch for the past 20 years and helping it grow. But they also wanted to be fair to their three daughters who left the ranch after high school and now all have successful careers and families in other cities. Cheryl says the “girls” still have an emotional tie to the ranch. Gary Jr believes they would sell the ranch in a heartbeat and also worries about the burden that estate taxes will put on the ranch. Gary has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and knows he can’t procrastinate any longer. DO YOU HAVE ACTIVE CHILDREN WHO WANT TO KEEP THE BUSINESS BUT INACTIVE CHILDREN WHO MIGHT WANT TO SELL?
