Brockets Ag Advice
Bio M By John E. Brockett

This column will probably be
relevant to only a few of my
reading audience. However, some
of you may read it and use the
ideas for friends, family members,
or acquaintenances.
- The first thing a surviving
spouse should do is nothing. Wait
until you can think more clearly.
Once you can begin to function,
then begin to plan for the future.
Let’s explore a few of the things
you will need to consider.
Appraisal
Some people feel that an ap
praisal should only be done if there
are taxes to be paid. Don’t listen to
them. An appraisal should be
made even if there will be no taxes
to pay. It can accomplish several
purposes. (1) It will probably
result in saved income taxes in the
future - the appraisal sets a new
value on everything, which you can
use for depreciation or as a cost
basis in case of a sale. (2) It will
give you a value for your property
in case you want to sell it or to help
you and your attorney plan vour
estate in the future. (3) It may help
you make some insurance and
business decisions. If you do get an
appraisal, treat it-as a very im
portant document. File it with your
other valuable papers.
Insurance
You will receive conflicting
advice on this issue. Should you or
should you not get insurance on
yourself? The insurance agent will
say yes, but he is suspect because
he or she sells the product. Some
well-meaning friend or family
member will say no because you
should preserve all of your money.
The actual answer is not clear cut.
Different circumstances would
yield diferent answers.
Here are some instances where
the answer would be an unqualified
yes with the only debatable point
being “how much.” (1) You have
dependent children including
handicapped adult children - the
insurance could be used to fund a
trust to help support them. (2)
Your farm still has a sizable debt
load - insurance could be used to
pay it off if you died. (3) The size of
your net estate was such that ther

would be a tax burden if you died -
insurance would pay this tax.
Here are some where insurance
would be useful. (1) You have
several children with one of them
to get the farm, but your desire is
to have that child buy it from the
other children - insurance could
provide a solution. (2) You want all
of your children to receive an
inheritance but your only asset is
the farm - again insurance could
provide a solution.
What about instances where
insurance is probably un
necessary? (1) Your children are
grown and the farm will be sold
now or after your death. (2) A child
is already buying the farm and you
have the mortgage to leave to
other heirs. (3) You have other
liquid assets to leave to your
children.
A New Will
The will should be revised. There
are new needs to be met. Are you
comfortable with the guardians
you have selected for the children?
Is the child who is now operating
the farm mature enough to handle
things if you die?
The Business
This is one of the biggest
decisions. It is also the one on
which you will receive the least
help. You’ll get a lot of advice, but
most of it will be irrelevant to your
needs. Talk to your accountant (if
you have one). Your county agent
may be able to help or may know of
a specialist who could help. Your
biggest decisions are; (1) Should I
continue to operate the farm, (2)
Should I offer a child a job or a
partnership or part of the business,
(3) Should I hire someone to take
the deceased spouse’s place in the
business, (4) Should I pay off all
debts with the insurance money I
receive, (5) Should I put savings or
insurance money into the business
to keep it going - if so, for how
long? Unfortunately there are no
easy answers to these questions.
Each family, each situation has its
own unique ket of alternatives. One
piece of advice is to not run the
business on emotion or continue it
out of sentiment.
