Nebraska Extension in Seward County will host an estate planning workshop for farmers and ranchers from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on March 8 at its main office, 322 S. 14th St., in Seward.

Allan Vyhnalek, an extension educator for farm and ranch transition and succession, will offer tools and strategies to effectively plan, start and complete estate plans, offer background on common mistakes during the process, and highlight essential considerations for creating and carrying out estate and succession plans.

Tom Fehringer, an attorney based in Columbus, will also present during the workshop. Fehringer specializes in estate planning, business planning and trust administration, among other areas of practice.

The common mistake is that most know that they need an estate plan, but never get around to putting a plan into a legal document. Over several years, at the end of the workshop, the most common comment is that the participants wished that they had started sooner. Learn the steps to start and complete a succession plan for your operation.

The workshop is free to attend, but registration is requested by March 7 by calling Nebraska Extension in Seward County, at 402-643-2981.
