This is a topic that is of vital concern to most farm families and one that is not easily solved. In the first place, where do farm families find attorneys who are well versed in handling farm estates where one small omission could spell disaster? That is the question of Mrs. Mildred Shelly, R 5 Box «s,Dillsburg, PA 17019. She writes; Do yon know how hard it is to find an attorney who is sufficiently schooled on planning estates? My husband and I have several farms. Our two sons wish to continue farming. My husband and sons have attended seminars con ducted by Penn State people and have figured how they want to pass on the property. We have two daughters also.
